The card I would like to share with you today is a combination of a few weekend challenges and also gave me the opportunity to play some more with the new release from Waltzingmouse Stamps!
I used the sketch from Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge and the theme from Crazy 4 Challenges, which is to create a card with a thankful theme.
This set uses Peace and Plenty, which is hands down one of the most beautiful Autumn-themed sets I have seen. The images are large and have clean lines, which makes it easy to color with markers, watercolors, or to paper piece (check out Laurie's fabulous card here).
I decided to switch things up a bit and watercolor my image. I used various colors of Distress Inks and an aqua pen to color the image, which I had stamped with Timber Brown StazOn onto watercolor paper. Following Mercy's sketch, I added a circle element to the left side, stamped with the checkerboard image from Off Beat Backgrounds. The card base was stamped with the two leaf images also from Peace and Plenty. For a finishing touch, I inked everything up with some Distress Ink.
Thank you for stopping by today - you will certainly see more of this set in the future!
