Celebrate with Food!

Hello and happy Monday! It's that time of year again. Only two days to go before it's time for the annual feast day throughout homes all across the United States for Thanksgiving. This is my absolute favorite work holiday because we get Thursday and Friday off, making this the only guaranteed 4 day holiday of the year.

Today I'm celebrating food through the Celebrate with Food challenge going on now at Bitten By The Bug 2 challenge blog.

I hope you'll stop by and post your own food related card. It doesn't have to be about Thanksgiving. As is posted in the blog, there are all kinds of foods celebrated in November including parfaits, peanut butter and french toast. Yes, please! I'll have all three.

My card for the challenge combines two files into a print then cut card front. The files are Turkey Dinner #MB9535 (sized 3.5" x 3.2") from The Good Old Days collection and Thanksgiving #M46DDF (sized 4.0" x 5.25") from the Word Collage collection.

Once I placed the Turkey Dinner on top of the Thanksgiving image where I wanted it, I used the Design Space flatter feature to make this a single print then cut image. Then I printed it and cut it out with my Cricut Explore Air 2. Then I cut the Thankful word ##M46DDF (sized 4" x 1.4") from the Word Collage collection. All three files are part of the Access subscription service from Cricut.

The panel was then ready to put on a golden brown glittered card blank I had purchased previously. The panel is raised thanks to a rectangle of fun foam between it and the card blank. On top of the panel I placed the Thankful phrase which I had cut out of lightly glittered gold cardstock. Then I used Nuvo drops in Gold Coast to set off the word. Once the drops were dry, I used Ranger Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to age this card on the edges and on and around the word and drops. I also lightly inked the area around the Turkey dinner image at the top.

I'm very happy with the vintage vibe of this card and I think the word images used in the background set off the card images perfectly. I hope you like it!

Well, that's it for me for now. I hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving weekend full of family, friends, fun and of course, good food! Enjoy!

Hugs,
Janet
