Give Thanks!
HELLO! I was thinking what other holiday is coming up besides Halloween?...you guessed it Thanksgiving....and isn't this a day to give thanks....so this is what I called this card...My mom always makes Thanksgiving dinner for all of us...there are usually 15 people that show up...This year there will only be about 12...we lost some loved ones last year and this year...but we still give thanks to the ones we love....so I thought I would make this card for her , just to show her how much I love and care and thank her for all that she has done for us...anyway, getting back to the card....I designed the whole thing in ds and welded it together and then layered it.
I used PSB cart...roly poly + shift square cut @ 4 1/8" this is the patterned square.
I Used PDDU cart for the cornucopia cut @ 2 1/4" which I cut 3 times and cb with swiss dots...to give it a 3d look...
The fruit is also cut with this cart @ 2 1/4" and I used paper glaze to make them shiny...I also doodled on them which you can't tell from the pic..but I added little tiny seeds to the strawberry and colored the stems with gel pens on the apple, strawberry and cherry...
I also used this cart for the Ivy cut @ 2 1/4" (forgot it had that on there) cut 2 of them ..one for up the side and the other across the bottom...used black gel pen to look like a border around the ivy.
I used Jasmine cart for the corners cut @ 4" and I also pop dotted the one on top...
I used DCT cart for the cornstalks cut @ 1 3/4" and then 2"
I used PSB for the brown square behind the frame cut @ 4 1/8"
I added some jewels, doodled, used birds & swirls cb folder , also swirls, and swissdot folders....Oh and the Give thanks is cut also with PSB but I forgot what size...Inside I will be putting a poem to thank her! Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!
