Color Washed Thanksgiving Day

I recently received this stamp set from Anthony's Paper Craft and immediately fell in love with it . Thanksgiving Day has a beautiful lantern/pumpkin scene and I knew I just had to make some cards with it. I wanted to use a watercolor-type background but didn't have the time to play. so I thought of the amazing Color Washed paper pad from Paper House Productions. It had the perfect colors to match my stamp !!

• For card bases, I used a golden-orange and a bright orange cardstock. 
• I cut pieces of the Color Washed paper to fit the card bases.
• Using my MISTI, I stamped the lantern/pumpkin image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the Color Washed paper.
• I stamped the sentiment on scraps of Color Washed paper, also with the Memento ink.
• I cut some scraps of glitter cardstock and adhered the sentiments to them with either adhesive or staples.
• A strip of dark red washi was adhered to the bottom of one of the sentiments.
• On one of the golden-orange card bases, I applied strips of Autumn American Crafts washi tape on the R and L sides of the card in the Landscape position.
• After adhering the sentiments to the cards, the stamped images were attached to thee cardstock.

I really love how these cards all look so different, depending on the pattern of the color-washed background !!I really love these stamps and already have an idea for the cute little piece of pie stamp that is in the set. And wouldn't that turkey be a fabulous stamp for place cards for your Thanksgiving table !!

Thanksgiving Day

I recently had the honor of doing my first Make-n-Take at the StampScrapArtTour in Hampton, VA as a member of the Anthony's Paper Craft Design Team. It was a quick card on both days as the show was going on and I had so much fun. I was meeting Anthony Gilbert of Anthony's Paper Craft  in person for the first time and he couldn't have been more welcoming !! We are already planning my next Make-n-Takes !!  Here are a few pictures from the show....
