Happy Thanksgiving - Wreath - Fox - leaves

Saturday October 31, 2020

Happy Halloween.. We lay low as usual. We live in the country so the houses are quite a distance apart. So we have never had a trick or treater in the 21 years we've lived here..  This being a strange year I don't know what kids will do. We don't have a mall and most stores are being so careful. I hope everyone is safe.
I have another Thanksgiving card I made. I used Ranger ink and inked the background. I used a scrap and Impression Obsession wreath die and then stamped, copic colored and the Sugar Pea Design image. I used scraps and Simon Says leave die and added them to the card. I stamped the Simon Says sentiment with Stampin up ink.

Challenges:
Krafty chicks #531 - anything goes
Paper craft #63 - autumn colors

Thursday October 29 - November 9, 2020

Hello.. Wow end of October.. Hope all is going well with you. Thanks for stopping by.. I have a card to share for the challenge going on over at Aud Sentiments #263

Our theme this two weeks is 
ANYTHING GOES  + SENTIMENT


We don't have a sponsor this challenge so I got to use what I wanted.. I first started with My favorite things line stamp and repeated the black stripes. I think I should of stamped a couple times to get rid of the blotchy areas but I didn't.   I then stamped the flowers from Simon says and colored them with copics. I knew it would be tricky cutting around the leaves so at first I went around with blue copic and fussy cut it out. When I laid it on the card I didn't like the blue so went over with black copic. I liked it better. I added it to the card with foam. I heat embossed the Simon says sentiment in gold.. I know it's hard to see in the photo but it's not that bad in person.. if you tilt it in the light to reflect the gold.. lol.. I wasn't going to re do my card.. I finished with Pretty Pink Posh jewels.

Our letter this time is "O" for OLD folks
For my card I used the image from Ladybug Crafts. I colored the image with copics and fussy cut the image out.

I then took a kraft card stock and Paper Trey Ink wood grain and Stampin up ink and created the floor. I added a little base board using Quick quote chalk ink to give the kraft some color.  I thought the wall needed a sentiment that looked like a wall hanging so stamped the sentiment and using My favorite things dies cut them out. I added some twine and finished with an epoxy dot for the hanger holder.
