Thanksgiving Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Happy Sunday scrappers! I'm sharing this Thanksgiving card featuring a few stamps from Red Rubber Designs, since it's less than two weeks away now.

     I took my design inspiration from the November Card Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook. com, using Sketch #4.

     The colors were inspired by The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #30 with this beautiful Fall color combo.

      To loosely mimic the rocks from the image, I combined black and white gesso applied to TCW Well Rounded Stencil onto my background. Once dry, I went over it with a few sprays and mists, which produced a fabulous shimmer. I tucked a couple of stamped Sunflowers behind my main image, stamped with the Arboretum Collage Cling Mounted Stamp, colored again with sprays and mists.

 
     The sentiment was stamped with the Contemporary Greetings Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set, which covers most holidays and occasions, and is a must for all card makers!

     

     All of the leaves were stamped, fussy-cut, and curled using the Nothing Is Better Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set.

Thanksgiving Card Preview ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     With Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away, I created a card featuring the Arboretum Collage Cling Mounted Stamp, along with a few other Unmounted Rubber Stamps from Red Rubber Designs. Behind the main image I stamped Sunflowers, the leaves were stamped with Nothing Is Better, and the sentiment using Contemporary Greetings. Here's a quick peek of just one of my photos, with my card and process posted on today's Red Rubber Designs Blog.

Sunflower Thank You Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     A few weeks ago my husband surprised me with boxes of stamps and craft supplies from a co-worker! This is the thank you card that I made for her, using my stamps from Red Rubber Designs.

     Except for the sentiment, which was stamped onto wood using Savvy Sayings, the rest of the stamping was embossed with Distress Embossing Powder (Walnut Stain). On the yellow background I used Speckle Background to mimic dirt. Then I used the Sunflowers stamp to emboss the sunflowers in the watering can, coloring them with Distress Inks, and painting the watering can with silver paint. The larger sunflowers were embossed with the My Sunshine stamp set, and also colored with Distress Ink. For some more texture, I decided to add some brown beads to the centers.

     I took my design inspiration from this sketch used for the October Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com. from Viva La Verve Sketches.

     I'm also entering this into the following challenges:
