Well, give me a taste of fall and my imagination runs wild. This week it ran all the way to Thanksgiving, so I made a Thanksgiving card.
The main image is on a piece of kraft cardstock. I was going to try a sepia technique (from the Technique Junkies Newsletter. I saw a Christmas card using the technique at the Holly Jolly Christmas blog and I loved it), but I just couldn't make it look right. It's supposed to be mainly white highlighting, and I just wanted to add more color, so I went my own way and added color. The center of the sunflower is covered with brown flocking, and I just love running my finger over it. I'll probably wear the flocking off before sending the card out.
Details:
Stamps: Mark's Finest Paper
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Creamy Caramel (sponged on edge of main image)
Paper: all from a very old stack, either ProvoCraft or DCWV
Accessories: Flocking, colored pencils, OMS; ribbon
