Thanksgiving Pumpkins

Good Morning & here we are at the start of another week, with another Thanksgiving card to share. I realize this USA holiday is not celebrated everywhere, but I hope you'll enjoy these cards anyway. I'll be sharing quite a few, since that is my project for the early days of November. The most difficult part of this card was the Cheery Lynn sentiment. I've been trying to find different holiday sentiments in my travels, so when I saw this one at a vendor booth, it was a no-brainer sale. However, I must say, it was not easy to adhere it straight, and I don't think the "T" in Thanksgiving looks very nice when cut out. It's a bit 'too fancy'...I think it would look nicer without all the scrolls & swirls. It cut nicely, but hard to glue down.

- Die cut Cheery Lynn Fall Harvest 2(FRM122)  in a lightweight black paper, and I remembered to use the metal shim. Pleased to say it cut beautifully and all the little pokeys fell right out.

- background is from a waste paper salvaged from spraying the ribbon on this card. As I looked at the snippet* of waste paper on the airbrush desk, I thought it would make a good background for this die; Voila, the card practically made itself! Derwent inktense pencils used for shading on the pumpkins, which did not show up very well in the green bits. Hunted up an Olive Green Spica pen, and this coloring medium showed much better.

- tiny orange rhinestones for a bit of bling; added a few green rhinestones at the bottom, once I had the Cheery Lynn sentiment adhered.

Hope you enjoy this one, and that your Monday is off to a smashing day. Thanks for joining me here, and many hugs.

*Edit: It just occurred to me I have a big snippet used as the background here, so off I go to share this at the Snippets Playground, Week #97.  Check it out!!!
