Welcome to Take Out Thursday
When I serve up something simple and easy.
Take out a stamp set for a spin, spice it up.
One of my reasons for Take Out Thursday is to use a
set or product without having to re-invent the wheel.

Hello friends!
Today for Takeout I picked up this design that I colored last March when we were gone for a few days. It's been--yes, you guessed it, sitting on my craft table!
I must begin by saying that colored pencils are a difficult media for me to use. I really appreciate the beautiful results others achieve but believe me, I am very much a beginner here. I gave it a try after seeing THIS gorgeous card by Debbie Hughes.
Now Takeout sometimes means a CASE by my definition.
I die cut the panel into an oval. Running white card stock through my Gemini Jr with the embossing folder that came with it ( from Crafter's Companion) gave me this deeply etched design. I just love this texture!
I added details and stitching lines with a white gel pen and wrapped linen thread as a simple accent.
The stamps are from the Bouquet of Thanks set from Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for visiting today!

I've still never done pencils on kraft, even though I've seen many pretty things, such as your card! Nicely done, especially for a first time. You're braver than me! I'm agog over that embossed background. Wow! The pattern and depth... that's amazing! It makes a perfect backdrop for your kraft panel, and with the linen thread -- perfection!
