Friendsgiving Two Ways

>> Wednesday, September 6, 2023

Hello Crafty Friends!



If you are looking for some fun Friendsgiving images, I have two to share today.  I have never done Friendsgiving, but both my daughters have done it for years.  I am lobbying my Bunco group to do as our November theme - even if we just do desserts or something.  If they agree, I plan to make 11 cards like these. 



My first card uses the new You Make Friendsgiving Special Greeting (235U).  I made the back panel by scoring white cardstock and then dragging three different distress inks down the paper. I drew in a few lines and ovals too.  The wreath is from Sizzix (Tim Holtz Funky Wreath Thinlet) which I cut out of white paper and then sponged with the darker colors from the wood panel.  After that, I stamped the sentient on some kraft paper and popped it up a bit after sponging.  It needed some flowers or something so I die cut some using another Tim Holtz die (Modern Floristry) drawing a few doodles and putting in some stamens with Black Stickles. 

My next card uses the new Happy Friendsgiving (232G) greeting.  I drew and watercolored the pumpkins and foliage.  I didn't like the back pumpkin so I added dots with some Gold Stickles to make it funky and fun. The main panel is done on watercoclor paper which I sponged with Tim Holtz DOX in Vintage Photo.  I inked the sentiment up with Arteza Watercolor Brush Pens so it has a softer look. 

Hope your week is going really well and you can feel a bit of Fall in the air (I can't but I am looking hard for it and plan to dance the minute I feel it).

Hugz,

Nancy

Oh my I am not sure which card I love more. The rustic look on the first card is fantastic and the additional detail of the doodled flowers is so perfect too.

Those pumpkins are gorgeous. I really love the blue one. My eyes are drawn to it. Two absolutely stunning cards.

These are perfect fall themed cards! I LOVE those hand drawn pumpkins and the wreath on the first is fantastic too. The aged/antiqued look you gave the cards is just warm and lovely!
