I put a few of my new PTI products to good use with this card.
My first step was to score a white card base for a faux corduroy look. I die cut "thankful" from a piece of Kraft cardstock that had been embossed with the Herringbone Impression Plate. To enhance the embossed pattern, I lightly inked over the top of the die cut.
The stamped sentiment is from the PTI Thanks All Ways stamp set and is tucked under a small panel stamped with the PTI Background Basics: Herringbone Stamp Set.
A little Baker's twine and the leftover piece from a zigzag border cut round out the pieces that were used to put together this card.

ReplyDeleteI love the herringbone stamped like that on its side-- it really draws your eyes right to the sentiment! Great take on the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful~looks like we were both thinking to marry that herringbone and die. Great minds... ;)
ReplyDeleteLove all the creative ways you used herringbone in this stamp. I agree with you that I am ready for school to start. I am going to go to a class at Paper Tales with the one and only Kim Hughes of Paper Smooches. Will I see you there?

ReplyDeleteJacquie,
ReplyDeleteThis is really innovative. How clever to dry emboss and then die cut the Thankful sentiment. I love the masculine colors. Also, thanks for stopping by and leaving me a sweet comment on my blog. ( - :
