Happy Turkey Day

Filed Under Holiday: Thanksgiving, Holly | 3 Comments

I thought I would start off the month of November by posting a Thanksgiving card.

I just got the Autumn Gatherings die that Tim Holtz came out with. On one die you get all the leaves, twigs and I think the light yellow is wheat. Pretty cool.

I cut all of the pieces out and then glued them around the card. I only used dabs of glue so they would stand out. I stamped Happy Turkey Day on a piece of ledger scrapbook paper, colored it with Copic markers and then layered that on top of dark brown. I did the same thing with the turkey.

Once the card was finished I added a little bit of Rock Candy stickles (my favorite) for shimmer and a little silver bead. I also added some squiggle lines, vines in the leaves and a slight border around the saying with a brown colored pencil.

I hope you’re all having a great November!

Ok, so maybe you’ve seen in a previous post that I absolutely love Tim Holtz’s Paper Rosette Sizzix die.

I was at it again making a Thanksgiving card this time. I stamped the background – I put dots of paint and then scribbled over them. I got out my thread and did a little stitch of teal blue. I also used the Stickles – Rock Candy (another Tim Holtz product). Once I learned that this works better when you squirt some on and then rub it around with your finger (as opposed to the other Stickles that you squirt on and let dry) – well, now I want to use it on everything.
