Yes, I am Thankful.

Here is an unusual colour combo, and it just WORKS! I am breaking out of my safe mode and starting to play with new combinations of colour. I love a clean and simple card, without too much distraction for the eye. Plus, this card reminds me to count my blessings (of which I have many).
The sloping letters are balanced by the little flutterby heading across the page. Easy Peasy with the thinlits dies. Just remember to add a piece of greaseproof paper before you run it through the bigshot, and voila! it pops out of the die easily.

Stampin' Up! Australia - By The Tide Masculine Card

My friend Rob is having a birthday today, and he loves to do a bit of diving, so the "By The Tide" stamp set was the ideal choice. It was super fast to put together, using Marina Mist as the card base, with a Whisper White piece for the focal image. I stamped another fish in Marina Mist inside the card on the bottom right hand corner, then I added 2 tiny rhinestones for the eyes, and they look cute and fishy!
