Have you been enjoying the week of sneaks?  We're back today with 3 new sets, Thankful, Sunflower Wreath, and Thanks a la Carte.  I'm showcasing Thanks a la Carte, which is a new addition to the word a la carte series illustrated by Nancy McKinney.

I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers and mixed it with some 6x6 papers from My Mind's Eye called Blink of an Eye.  I love the blues and yellows in this pack!  The scallop accent was created with the Medium Scallop Border Die and I finished it with some Baker's Twine.  I used MOJO212 for the layout.

Here is the die I used on today's card:


The rest of the Baker's Dozen have more for you today, so stop on by to see:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
