Season of Thanks - The Paper Players # 462

Thanksgiving - the Season of Thanks - a time to reflect on what we are thankful for.  And this week the theme challenge with The Paper Players is "Grateful, Thankful for You" .

In the note card below, I depict a lot of what I am grateful for - the blue sky, the changing colour of the leaves, pumpkins, and that wonderful turkey dinner shared by family and friends.



The turkey, from "Feathered Friends" was stamped on Whisper White and partially die cut using a square die. After rounding the corners of this die cut, and sponging the edges with Early Espresso ink, the sentiments from "Feathered Friends" and "Gather Together" were stamped in the white space.  Using Stampin' Blends, I coloured the turkey and these colours became the inspiration for the rest of the card.




Doesn't the turkey look like he's calling everyone to dinner?

The sky was brayered  with Balmy Blue ink, and the ground with Crumb Cake with a touch of Cajun Craze. The tree from "Snow Front" was stamped with Early Espresso ink and the colourful leaves were stamped in Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.  I used the 'falling snow' stamp for the leaves on the trees.

The turkey 'tag' was added to the card front using dimensionals.  But before doing so, the sprig of wheat was stamped multiple times in Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze behind where the tag would be.

Pumpkins, from the stamp set "Gather Together" were stamped on Pumpkin Pie card stock, die cut and added to the card front using dimensionals.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Feathered Friends, Snow Front, Gather Togethetr
Inks;  Black Memento, Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Stampin' Blends
Papers:  Whisper White note card, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories:  Gather Together Dies, Layering square dies, Dimensionals, Brayer, Corner Rounder Punch

Feathery Friends - You are Amazing- a Gate Fold Card

I just love this hostess stamp set, but then I like to color.  The detail on these birds are incredible!
This card has a definite  vintage vibe.


.

On the central art piece, the Stamp-a-ma-jig was used to place the two birds close to and facing each other and I colored them with ink pads and a blender pen...

The background was stamped using the Timeless Texture stamp set

The art piece was then matted with Marina Mist card stock.

The basic card is a gate fold card.  The two front panels are lined first with Marina Mist DSP followed by a Whisper White layer which has 2 leaf branches stamped and colored on each.  The background has also been distressed with the Timeless Texture stamp set.  Some tiny yellow flowers with black centers were attached to the ends of the branches on both sides.  I also placed a small flower on the pink bird.

The branch and flower is also stamped on the inside.  Sorry you can't see that.

Stamps:  Feathery Friends, Timeless Texture
Inks:  Black Memento, Watercolor pencils, Pear Pizzazz, Marina Mist (second generation), Old Olive,Always Artichoke
