I have used the Wheat Sheaf in two different ways on my card. I stamped the image onto a Gelli Plate that had tangerine and umber paint on it for my background paper. The other stamped image was colored with Copics.
For my repurpose items I found sticks, feathers and leaves to incorporate in my design! From an old dictionary I tore out the words and definitions to, "thankful, grateful, family, health and love"! IRL the green paper and orange pumpkin are toned down!!


I made a second card using the same technique with the Gelli Plate. The Wheat Sheaf is in the background along with the imprint of a wooden piece and coil brad. I took a gold Krylon pen and colored the chipboard and wooden pieces. Thankful was stamped in Memento Luxe, Rich Cocoa.
