Happy Thanksgiving

Published by Shel9999 at 8:18 am under My Designs, Stampin' Up!

HTPGood morning!  I don’t have a card to celebrate Veteran’s Day, but  I would just like to mention our veterans today and send out a big thanks and big hugs to them for  their dedication to our country!! 

This was one of the cards we made at my last workshop.  It’s a lot like the Happy Pumpkins, but without the faces (ha!).

I love watercoloring these sketchy images on watercolor paper. It’s so forgiving and easy to shade.

To make the little curlies, I just wrapped a very thin strip of cardstock around my needle, then glued the top ends and placed a tiny dot of glue at the other end so the cardstock wouldn’t unwind.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day! 

Cardstock:  Really Rust, Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, watercolor paper     Patterned Paper:  Apple Cider DS paper     Stamps:  Autumn Harvest, Canvas     Ink:  Stazon Black, SU Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, Summer Sun, Close to Cocoa, Olive Green     Accessories:  Jumbo Pewter eyelets, hemp, mat pack/needle, Chocolate Chip marker, dimensionals, water brush, sponge.  Finished card size 5 ½”x 4 ¼”.
