More Thanksgiving Cards

Here are two more Thanksgiving cards I made today. I used the sketch from Unscripted Sketches and the colors from Diva Coffee Break Design Color Challenge #152. It is a beautiful day today and I should be outside but I just had to play with my new loot from SU. The base card stock is SU Ruby Red. I used Ruby Red and my new Stampin' Around with Cornelli Lace to do the back ground. I need a lot more practice using that big wheel but I love the way it works. I used nestabilites to cut the Brovo Burgundy and Always Artichoke squares. The tree set is called Trendy Trees. I have wanted to use it for a long time but I just didn't have a good layout. I think this one worked great. I punched three tiny circles from Brovo burgundy with a Crop-A-Dile. Then I used CTMH Liquid Glass to make them look like gems. The layout only had two but I thought it looked better on this card with three. I hope it is OK with the girls at Unscripted that I did that. Well I made one more card with some new stuff I got from CTMH but you will have to wait a day or two for that one. I still need to but it all together.
Thanks so much for stopping and all the nice comment you leave. I really do apperciate them.
I hope you had great weather too!

Three Challenges in One



A quick post. Well it has taken me two days. I made this card while my DH was fishing last night. I don't like to fish at night because of the bugs and bats. It is for his uncle who is in the hospital. It works for three challenges.
Pile it on: No Pattern Paper
Stamp TV color challenge 25: brown, cream and red
Unscripted Sketches 18: the sketch

The stamps I used were all from Stamp TV sets. The flower was from a set called A Year of Flowers by Melanie Muenchinger. The inside sentiment is from Say it with Flowers also by Melanie. The background stamp was from the new Showtime Kit called Sign of Autumn by Gina K. The “Thinking of You” sentiment was from a set by Nina Brackett called Elegant Post. The ribbon was from the Showtime Kit Signs of Autumn. I stamped the background with Memento Desert Sand ink. The sentiments and sunflower were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I colored the image with Copic markers R 35, R29, RV 29 and E 29. I used BG Cool Shadow to outline the flower. A red sunflower seems like a stretch but I know I have seen some in seed catalogs.
I only brought one page of craft supplies. It is kinda fun making a card in the little cabin up here in the North woods. There were a few supplies I wish I brought but I had to be more creative with less. Let me know what you think. Thanks for stoping.
