Karen Amidon ...you are here!
I love this time of the year! The Autumn Wreath reminds me of the harvest and the beginning of a new season. Our family gathers together all year long but the holidays are always a special time to be with each other.
This stamp is beautifully detailed. The grapevine and leaves give this wreath a natural feel, yet it is very elegant. The rich colors of the wreath come from being colored with Copics. To get the crisp white border, I airbrushed around the image leaving the die in place.
Designing the inside of a card is as much fun to me as the front! Isn't this script gorgeous? I masked off the word, "Be" on the, "Be Thankful" stamp. The cornicoupia has been fussy cut from the, "November" stamp. Serendipity has a wonderful stamp set of all the months which can be seen here!
Anything in the Autumn or Thanksgiving Category is 20% this week!
Perfect time to get those things from your November wish list!
Thanks for looking and remember there will be a blog hop here Friday November 14th!
