Good morning! Are you in full on Thanksgiving prep? We always spend the holiday with friends but I still have a lot to do. I used Thanksgiving as inspiration for today's gratitude card that I combined with this Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge. The cardbase is Sahara Sand and I added a piece of Burch Paper Ribbon, from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit, that was matted with Chocolate Chip cardstock. I used Sahara Sand ink and a sponge to sponge all over the burch ribbon to help distress it. For the stamped image I stamped a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock and stamped the chevron woodgrain image from the Truly Grateful stamp set in Sahara Sand ink. I also stamped the wheat bushel in Crushed Curry ink. 
Next I added two paper flags using the Sweater Weather Designer Series paper. The greeting is from the same Truly Grateful stamp set and I stamped the circle wood image on Very Vanilla cardstock with Sahara Sand ink and the greeting is in Chocolate Chip. I punched this piece out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and crumpled it up to distress it. This piece was matted on a scallop circle that was punched with the Scallop Circle Punch that was also crumbled and distressed. The final element was to attach a cute knot made out of the Natural Trim Ribbon.
I love how nice and soft this card turned out, and it's not overly "Thanksgivingish" and could also be used for a more masculine card. I hope you enjoy and good luck with all your preparations and if you're traveling, safe travels.
