Gratitude - WMS November Blog Party

Today I have a card for the November Waltzingmouse Blog Party - the theme this month is GRATITUDE, and here's my card!

For the background, I inked the Vintage Christmas Backgrounder with 3 Memento Inks - Tangelo, Lady Bug and Cantaloupe.  I stamped the lantern, leaves, candle and flame from Bright Season, cut them out and layered them over the background using foam tape. The sentiment is from Peace and Plenty.

After it was all together - I went over the glass and candle part of the lantern with Crackle Accents by Ranger. And then left it alone over night so I wouldn't touch it and smudge it!  The bottle says it should dry in 3-4 hours depending on how thick you put it on but I didn't want to chance it so left it over night!

 I used today's WMS Sketch for my card. 

We have a blog party every month on the 17th -  the theme is announced on the WMS Blog on the 1st of each month so you have plenty of time to make your card.  I also link to the theme post on my side bar so you can always look there.

If you plan to party with us and haven't already made your card - you have to link up your gratitude card over at the WMS Blog before 1:30 pm EST on Sunday and you have to use WMS stamps.  We hope you'll join us!   One lucky person that links their card will win a WMS stamp set!

I'm off to the WMS blog to check out all the gratitude cards - want to come??!!
