Give Thanks

Hi, friends! It's design team member Walter on the blog today with a beautiful card celebrating Thanksgiving.  The Harvest Moon stamp from I Brake for Stamps creates such a beautiful scene.  I used lots of earth tones set against the night sky and a golden full moon in my design.  I can smell the fall leaves and feel the cool, crisp air when I look at this image!




Here's what I used to create it:

  • Harvest Moon Red Rubber Stamp
  • A2 Kraft card base
  • Vintage Newspaper Clipping Paper
  • 4"x5.25" piece of Cream cardstock
  • Embossing ink
  • Gold embossing powder
  • Colored pencils
  • Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Scorched Timber
  • Piece of twine
  • Two mini clothes pins
  • Label Maker

Here's how I made it:

  • Added grunge to Kraft card use using Scorched Timber ink and ran the ink pad around the card edges.

  • Tied piece of twine around the top inside of the card base; used a blending brush to add some grunge with Scorched Timber ink.

  • Placed mini clothes pins onto twine.
  • Adhered Vintage Newspaper Clipping paper to the card base.
  • Stamped image onto Cream card panel with embossing ink, dusted with gold embossing powder, and heat set it.
  • Colored the image with colored pencils.

  • Used a blending brush to add grunge to the card panel with Tea Dye ink.

  • Added grunge to the sides of the card panel with Vintage Photo ink.
  • Adhered card panel to base with double sided foam tape, ensuring the top of the panel is inserted into mouths of clothes pins.
  • Created sentiment with label maker and adhered it to the card.

 


I love the rustic and vintage look & feel of this card.  It makes me want to put a turkey into the oven to roast right now!

Thanks for spending some time reminiscing with me today!  See you again soon.
