Turkey Day


Ingredients:

Paper: SU Old Olive, Close to Cocoa, Various DP

Stamps: Sweet 'n Sassy Turkey Day

Ink: Pallette Cognac, White Pigment

Accessories: Ribbon, Copics, Brads, White Gel Pen

I had made a little witch Halloween card for a friend of mine to give to her granddaughter and SHE LOVED IT!! My friend asked me to do a Turkey card ('cause she calls her "her little turkey"), a Christmas card and a Valentine card. The hard part was coming up with a turkey image (turkey's are about the ugliest fowl there is on this earth)! Sweet and Sassy had this goofy looking turkey that I fell in love with and just had to get him (or is it a her??) I used some left over decorative papers, punched out squares and used them as a background with faux stitching around them. I colored the image with my new Copics (still learning how to use them correctly). I like the way this turned out and I hope my friend's granddaughter is as excited to get it as she was with the little witch.

Thank you for stopping by the ol' blog homestead, and ya'll come back real soon, ya hear!!

The Thanksgiving Table


Ingredients:

Paper, SU More Mustard, Black, Purely Pomegranate

Stamp: SU's Lots of Thoughts

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: Fabric Applique', SU Corner Photo Punch, Dimensionals, Purchased Card Front


My company sends out Thanksgiving cards every year instead of Christmas cards. In addressing them for my boss's customers, there was one that failed to get printed on the inside. I thought the picture was lovely and brought it home to cut it down to a size that would fit on a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 card. I added the black along one side accented with fabric applique' dots and did two corner photo punches. I then stamped the "Many Thanks" to the upper corner.

Hugs to all and come back and visit again!

Wheat Image


Ingredients:

Paper: SU Barely Banana (base), Papertrey First Fruits dp, White

Ink: Stazon Black

Accessories: "All Sorts of Things" Matte Finish Buttons in Mango, Copper Twine, Copper Stickles, Dimensionals, Paper Piercing Tool & Mat Pack from SU


This is Jen's challenge that I found on iheart2stamp.com. I used Papertrey's First Fruits wheat stamp and matching dp for the main elements of this card. I was going to stamp the image with Stazon Brown, but found it dry and had to go over it with black which worked out fine after I used my SU markers to color over the image. I really like the way this turned out and especially because it shows off all the decorative papers I used.


Thank you for visiting and come back again real soon.
