Today's theme for the Waltz is Gratitude/Thanksgiving. I love this theme as there is so much to be thankful for - family & friends, good health, peace and small joys like having a hobby I enjoy. My card is a simple one today, for I ran low in inspiration and been a little busy.
My stamp pad somehow did not cooperate when I inked up the stamps and so the images came out pretty distressed (sad!). I used three stamp sets for this card,
Gingham & Co polka dots background,
Eat Cake set for borders and cake and sentiment from
Say It Loud set. Lots of things didn't go right with this card somehow which made me a little sad. I thought of not posting this but then decided well, everyone has good and not so good days... so here it is.
I look forward to check out all the fabulous projects from everyone who is waltzing today. You can check out the list
here.
Have a great week!

Great card - your border is brilliant - what an inspired idea!

So, so cute - lovely bling frame and the little cake is too sweet!
I have days with my ink too...:(
But I think this is beautiful!
Love the way you've framed it!
A fabby project!
Oh, Kary, but I'm so happy you DID post it, 'cause it's beautiful! I love the color - my fave! And the border you created is so pretty!!! Hmmm.... didn't buy that set, but this is tempting... :-D
Hugs, Wendy
I disagree, Kary, there is TONS of inspiration here! That stamped and sparkly border!!!! It's so perfect and makes such a lovely frame for your card. The purple is striking with the white background, and I just love your teeny cake! Love you made your dotted panel scalloped, what a sweet little detail!
Fabulous border on this outstanding creation. You KNOW I love the bling! Great job!
Very pretty card Kary! Love the rhinestone studded scallop trim! Thanks for waltzing along :)
Love your card! The frame is so beautiful and the perfect touch to a very nice thank you card - those polkadots are so fab!!! and the color is great too = love everything!!!
I think your card is lovely Kary and I would have thought the ink distrssing was deliberate if you hadn't said anything. I particularly like your border - its gorgeous.

This is really cute, Kary! I love the lavender, and your frame is outstanding. :)
Kary - I'm so glad you posted - your card is just lovely. I think the distressed look is super and the colour (shades of purple are my favourite) is fab! Love the bling on the border.
I love how you used your cake stamps to create that funky border! I hate it when inks won't play, but I think your card is lovely!
I don't agree that you were having a bad day, because this is a beautiful thank you card. I love the bling and that purple is such a gorgeous color. I love that border you stamped all around your card too.
Kary, I love the distressed look on your card - no mistake there - looks great in that pretty purple.
This is beautiful--so glad you decided to share! The border is gorgeous and with all the bling--wow! Great colors and love the sweet little cake.
Aw Kary, don't be sad! We're always our worst critic;) I love the frame you did! And I love that you chose purple. I'm always drawn to purple cards, but for some reason, I hardly ever choose it for my cards, lol!
What an adorable card! Love the colour and the bling. Very sweet!
Great job.. love those borders.
Your card is so pretty! The border is brilliant and I love the colors you used.
Hey Kary - I think this is sweet - so often what doesn't appeal to us does to others :-)
Blessings

Love the frame and the monchromatic color.
Hey distressed is "in" :) Really this is a wonderful card! How did you do the scalloped dot layer - masking or is it its own layer? I love the way you did the border frame, very cool!
The colour is so captivating and the border is just fabulous.
Hi,
I know about those days, where just nothing seems to work.
But I think your card turned out very pretty with the distressed look. :)
