Give Thanks

By Yvonne

  • Die – Spellbinders – Swirl Happy Birthday Frame
  • Patterned papers – Authentique Pleasant Collection
  • Sequins – Neat & Tangled Festive Fall Sequin Mix
  • Cardstock – Bazzill
  • Ranger Distress Ink – Carved Pumpkin

This is a very simple, yet elegant card with no stamping. It features one of the beautiful vintage images from Authentique’s Pleasant collection, framed with a decorative Spellbinders die cut. I edged the pumpkin image and the patterned background piece with Carved Pumpkin Distress ink. I popped up the pumpkin image onto the frame and adhered the whole thing to a white card base. I simply added a few sequins among the flowers as a final touch and that was it! Anything more would seem overpowering to me, but I tend to design on the side of simplicity. Thanks for stopping by.

Give Thanks

By Yvonne

  • Stamp/Stencil set – Stampers Anonymous: Studio490 Wendy Vecchi “Autumn Harvest”
  • Sentiment – Hero Arts CL987 “Color Layering Grateful Leaves”
  • Die – Lawn Fawn “Outside In Stitched Scalloped Square Stackables”
  • Ranger Distress inks
  • Ranger Distress markers
  • Handmade paper – Black Ink
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

This image was created with a stamp and stencil set. First I stamped it with black ink and then I applied Ranger Distress inks through the stencil to color the image. I used Distress markers to color the tall vegetation in the background. I framed it with the Lawn Fawn die-cut and layered all on top of the lovely handmade paper by Black Ink. Thanks for stopping by.

Giving Thanks… with a raccoon?

By Yvonne

Thanksgiving

  • Stamps – Lawn Fawn “Into the Woods” and Simon Says Stamp “Giving Thanks”
  • Patterned papers – Lawn Fawn “Into the Woods”
  • Sequins – Lawn Fawn “Lawn Ornaments”
  • Border punch – Martha Stewart “Zig Zag” Edge Punch
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

I really like this stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I am pretty sure that this little creature is a raccoon, but it has a kind of skunk-like tail, so I can’t be absolutely sure! I had fun making this card and it is the only Thanksgiving card I made this year. It is perfect for the “Thankful” challenge at 365 Cards for Day 331. I haven’t played with sequins for a long time, so I had a good time with this card! Have a very happy Thanksgiving!

The card is my first for Thanksgiving for Operation Write Home. I’m making it as part of their current challenge: OWH Thanksgiving theme. I’ve been waiting to use this stamp set–I got it right after last Thanksgiving. And, there are penguins in the set as well! Hurray! Thanks for visiting.
