Thankful by Jean Okimoto

Buds and blossoms from the Winter Days Collection are great throughout the year. Pair them with a thankful greeting for a fall card. The Sunrise 6x6 cardstock collection includes the perfect shade of orange to match the Nutmeg Plaid 6x6. Hi, Jean here with a mixed, layered trio of flowers for Thanksgiving - or any occasion.

Cut the buds and blossoms from the Small Anemone Bud Duo, Blushing Bloom and Delicate Anemone from a bright coral/orange Sunrise 6x6. Ink two of the centers with Verdant VersaFine Clair. Lightly edge the petals with Habanero VersaFine.

Cut the sepals and 2 sets of stems from a bright green sheet in the Greenery 6x6 set.

Assemble the buds and blossoms. The little bud is actually one of the center diecuts from the Blushing Bloom set.

Stamp the greeting - from the Friends and Family Clear Stamp Set - near a corner of a medium green Greenery 6x6 with Pinecone VersaFine Claior. Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder. Cut the cooled cardstock with the 2-½" wide Nested Globes die.

Cut the green/orange/cream Nutmeg Plaid 6x6 with the 3-½" wide Nested Globes die.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded light Kraft A2 card - use foamtape for the tops of the flowers and big bud. Add copper/bronze Autumn Fairy Crystals. Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

These new floral dies can be mixed, matched and layered in many ways. Cut them from Memory Box's 6x6 color collections, the new 8-½" x 11 cardstock packs or shimmery mirror cardstock.

Thanks for visiting...have a great weekend!
