Fall Is Here!

 Fall is here and this week my card was inspired by all of the gorgeous fall decor I see in my daily travels to and from work and around town. I see so many beautiful fall displays with everything from pumpkins to scarecrows and everything in between. This card has used a lot of stamps from High Hopes (list below the pictures) and involved a lot of fussy cutting but I am happy with how it turned out!

I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers and hand fussy cut the images. I ran a black marker around the edges to make sure I got any white I had missed. I decided to keep the patterned paper neutral because there are so many images in my scene. After cutting a circle in a piece of card stock, I put some blue paper behind it and inked all of the edges with Ground Espresso Distress ink. I cut some clouds with a die and glued them in the sky. 

Next, I added the stamped images to create my scene, coloured the sentiment sign and added it using a brad. 

Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian Friends & Family!

Even though this has been a rough 2020 for many of us, I personally still have so much to be thankful for.  Family & friends make my world a special place.  I think of the goods times this year that we have been able to share, even if sometimes it is just a chat on the phone or a video call.  My Mom always said patience is a virtue...she was right.  We all need patience during these very trying times.

For this special Thanksgiving I created a little scene card using some of my favourite farm stamps from High Hopes....no turkey lol.  Farmer Clem (S119) & his little gang - Billy Goat (Q060), Brewster (H189) with Corn Stalk (M011) & Farm Fence (M045).  A simple sentiment Happy Thanksgiving (F203) finishes off my card.

I had such a good time fussy cutting all my little images for this scene card...yes I love to do that lol.  I edged each cut image with a black marker, doing that gets rid of the white edge on your images.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, Happy Thanksgivng!
