Happy Sunday, Friends!
We’re celebrating a new Challenge at the Paper Players this week. Our amazing Claire is hosting a Theme Challenge… “Give Thanks”!
Each day, I think about everything I have to be thankful for. I’m sure you can think of so many happy moments you’ve recently had… you’ve probably had a few today!
When I was planning my card for today’s post, I came across this sentiment from a stamp set called Etched In Nature. The pack of Ever Eden Designer Series Paper was out on my workspace. The pattern I’m featuring today was on top. I thought there was nothing more fitting than to pair this beautiful leaf patterned paper with this sentiment. I’m always amazed at how card elements will be inspirational.!
On a Basic White card base, I added a Soft Succulent cardstock layer, then the patterned paper layer. The patterned paper features beautiful gold foil accents, so I punched two gold foil circles to use as an anchor for the die cut sentiment frame. The sentiment is stamped with Evening Evergreen ink. I added a few Gold Metallic Pearls to embellish the frame and die cut two Basic White leaf sprays to bring the white up from my card base.
So, take a look at some of your heartfelt sentiments, add some beautiful patterned paper, cut a few layers and create something “thankful” to link up with us over at the Paper Players.
…the only limitation is your imagination!

Debbie, this so so elegant and I love the color combo! The DSP and the gold circles are just the perfect match! Everything about this card is beautiful! Thank you for making my theme shine! Have a great week, My Friend!
Beautiful card and sentiment! That paper is gorgeous!
Debbie, I agree – this paper and that sentiment are just perfect together. I really am loving the green in the gallery this week and the touches of gold with it really do set it off beautifully. Fabulous card

Seems like a few of you ladies were on the same wavelength! Funny how that happens. This came together so well! Love the way you framed the greeting! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
The more I see this paper used the more I like it! I love how you pulled in more gold with the 2 gold circles and also echoed the leaves in the print with the added sentiment border pieces! Have a great week!
Gorgeous, Debbie!! These papers are beautiful and you’ve used them to their best advantage!!
Absolutely stunning, Debbie! Such beautiful paper…and my favorite pattern from the collection. Love the extra touches of gold you used. Awesome!
Lovely card. The designer paper is so elegant looking.
Such a wonderful reminder to celebrate something good in every day! Love how you used the circles to frame the fancy sentiment.
