Thanksgiving Blessings
>> Tuesday, November 1, 2016
Hi Everyone,
Now that Halloween is officially behind us, it only seems fitting to showcase a Thanksgiving card on November 1st. I just adore all of the colors associated with this time of year, so I colored up the new Cornucopia stamp using my Copic markers. I fussy cut it and then layered it onto a piece of brown card stock and fussy cut it once more, giving it a small dark mat.
I took inspiration from the colors of the stamped image and made my own background. Taking a piece of acetate I added some inks, spritzed them with water and then smooshed my paper onto it, giving it a watercolor effect.
While the background was drying. I stamped the Thanksgiving Blessings in brown ink, adding a punched border to the strip. When all seemed dry, and before assembling, I rounded the corners on all my card stock and created an embellishment of die cut leaves to finish it off.
Thank you so much for peeking in today!

I love how you matted your cornucopia to match your other matting, great idea to help it stand out from your lovely bg!
Great card Karin, I love your background and adding the mat behind the cornucopia is the perfect touch.
