Today's card is a little quirky for me. Every once in awhile I try to break out of my symmetrical style and go for a little bit more artsy or shabby. Never very happy with the results but I think that is because it isn't normal or natural for me. But it is always fun trying.
The harvest image is Doodle Pantry from the October release. I will be posting another post soon with a set from the November release but I love this set. You can find it at the Doodle Pantry Store. It is called Let Us Be Thankful.
And play along HERE in the Doodle Pantry challenge and receive the darling Christmas Cactus set for free.
Back to the card - the image is precolored but I added a little color here and there. The main sentiment is also from this digital set. The two words are Stampin Up.
I have a package of chipboard buttons that I never seems to use because I don't do shabby or vintage very often. One seemed appropriate for this card. BG paper is from an old Autumn stack. Sorry, don't know the name; it is just a left over.
Kraft base from Kraft Outlet.
Twine from the Twinery
