Happy Tuesday! I've posted a lot of Halloween cards and projects, and a bunch of Christmas cards, but I haven't gotten a lot of Fall or Thanksgiving cards. So, on that note, I give you my Fall leaves/Autumn Harvest pumpkins/Happy T'giving card:
I've really taken a liking to watercoloring lately. I think maybe I'm getting more practice, and that's making me like the results more and more. So the whole card was designed around the watercolored pumpkins, which were masked. That's layered onto some Tangerine Tango cardstock, then onto a piece of Urban Garden DSP. The base cardstock is Kiwi Kiss. Since it's bumped up on Dimensionals, I looped the ribbon around the focal point layer. The 'Happy' and 'Thanksgiving' words are stamped in Black Stazon onto watercolor paper just because I wanted the papers to match. I also like the texture of watercolor paper. The only "oops" on this card is that I wish I'd moved the pumpkins to the left more so that the ribbon didn't hide the little pumpkin on the right side.
I think all the punches and colors are either listed or obvious, so I won't list the ingredients. If you've got questions, just email me or leave a comment!
Hope you're inspired & in the mood for Fall! (Unless you're in Houston where it's still summer, or BILLINGS, MONTANA, where they just had SNOW!!
I have not tried watercoloring - I'm always intimidated by it. Is this watercolor crayons? It really looks nice - like that bumpy watercolor paper, too. I really like how you did the Thanksgiving word over the pumpkins. Very nice card! I need another look at the Urban Garden paper.
