Hi everyone! Cathy Z. here and I’m super excited to share some of my brand new releases for October, all designed around the theme of gratitude.
I have a brand new 6 x 8 set called 30 Days of Thankful 2018. This set is full of gratitude sentiments, sweet images to color and can also be used for making a gratitude album during the month of November. Check out my blog for more details on that project!
Today’s project is a card featuring some simple Distress Oxide ink blending and emboss resist, combined with a simple word and shadow die, to create a simple card of gratitude.
Check out my video on how I made this project!
