My card features dies from Spellbinders and Concord and 9th. The paper is from Hobby Lobby and sepia colored vellum is from my stash - my sister sent it to me a long time ago.
Even though the sketch is easy, I struggled with what to do. Everything avenue I traveled for this card was just a failure. I knew when I drew this sketch that I wanted it for Thanksgiving and I knew I wanted leaves. But when it came down to it, it just didn't work out for me. You're really not seeing the beautiful swirl die behind the strip of pumpkins. But I wasn't going to scrap yet another card. I pressed on with this one. I cut the vellum using a sentiment plate from Concord and 9th - I did shorten it, it's original size would cover the entire panel and I didn't want that. I added copper washi tape to the sides of the strip so to tie that in I cut the letters from copper paper that I found in my stash. I typed the word "giving" on a word doc and then changed the font to something cute and then printed it out. I put the piece of vellum over the word and then traced it. Looks good, right? I think it does.
I so hope you'll join us this week. Maybe when everyone is on the couch in their food coma you can steal away to craft a bit.
