Thanks

For this weeks challenge click

 

In our family we hand out our Christmas wish list at Thanksgiving
This year I put a Papertrey Ink gift certificate on the top of mine and
that's exactly what I got. When I placed my order
I got this and another "Thank you" stamp as a gift from the company
I just love it. I inked it with Burnt Umber and stamped on vintage cream
and punched it out with a spellbinder die with some foam tape I attached it to a piece
of dark chocolate embossed with floral fantasy
a piece of dark chocolate Swiss dot satin ribbon 5/8"
all on an a2 base of PTI kraft card stock edges inked with burnt umber
did this all from pieces I had in my Papertrey ink pile of goodness
Linking this up to
