Happy Thanksgiving

OK, so it's a little early, but my weekly class asked for Thanksgiving cards, and the sketch challenge on Splitcoast today worked perfectly with this set that I just received yesterday.

First I stamped the flannel plaid background on the creamy caramel card base. Then I stamped the leaf from Autumn Harvest on the really rust strip, which I layered on black and then attached to the card. I stamped happy thanksgiving over the flannel plaid in chocolate chip ink. The pumpkins and gourds are colored with watercolor crayons and aqua painter. Rather than masking, I cut out some and glued them in front to give more depth. The small pumpkin in the front is raised on mounting tape, as is the image panel. I used my crop-a-dile to attached rust eyelets and then threaded natural hemp through the eyelets and tied the ends. All images, ink and card stock are Stampin' UP!.
