Thankful For You

 Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends in the United States! This happens to be my favorite week of the entire year... food, family, good movies, good sportsball, and drinks :) Cheers!

I created a mixed media thankful card for you all! But the actual recipient will be my husband... I will never have enough words to let him know how grateful I am for his support, always.

This card uses some beautiful BetterPress plates by Dina Wakley. I ordered them upon first release many months ago and they've been sitting in my "need to use" bin. I'm sad it took me so long to get to them!

I started by gluing some Dina Wakley collage paper to watercolor paper. Once dried with my heat tool, I then ink blended the edges with Spicy Mustard Ink, then also sprayed the panel with Yellow Metallic Spray and Acrylic Mineral Spray.

Once all of the sprays were completely dried, I started to BetterPress! I started with the press plates that I wanted to ink in Cornflower blue, which are from both the Growing BetterPress Plates and the Flourishing BetterPress Plates. I then inked up the spotted image plates in Espresso Ink, whcih are both from the same sets.

I looooove how much indentation there is with the layers of the mixed media panel. 

Keeping it quick today... enjoy your holiday!
