Now, onto my project details for today! When I first saw this wonderful sunflower image in the Happy Fall set, I immediately thought of using it for my Thanksgiving Table Setting!! So for today, I have created a place card, napkin ring and Ghiradelli Chocolate box as a little favor. The place card and the napkin ring is just so super simple with a bit of chocolate card stock layered with pumpkin pie, and then I added the sunflower image popped up on dimensionals.

The tutorial for the Ghiradelli box...which is so easy by the way...can be found here on SCS. For this box, I used some Basic Grey Indian Summer DP, punched the flap with SU's eyelet border punch, and added the sunflower image popped up with a dimensional, so it can hold the flap down.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed my projects today. From here, hop over to the ever talented Lorelie's blog for even more inspiration!

I stamped the imaged with memento black and colored it with copic markers. I then sponged the image panel with scattered straw and walnut stain distress inks.

To finish off the card, I added the sentiment and some brown ruffled ribbon.
