This is my sneak preview of one of the new Verve sets coming this Sunday, November 9. As soon as I saw the pumpkin trio from Tall Oaks, I thought it would be perfect to use for Thanksgiving placecards. I stamped in Adirondack Espresso and did my coloring with Prismacolors, Gamsol, and a blending stump. The middle pumpkin is stamped a second time and popped up on dimensionals. I layered everything onto some Twiggy designer paper by Memory Box and embellished with some dark brown twill, burlap string, and machine stitching. Each person's name is handwritten on an ivory strip and held in place with a mini binder clip.

Hi Amy - Your placecard is gorgeous. I am about to make 21, and was hunting for some inspiration. I love the little clip with the handwritten name - I am going to lift that idea for sure! Thanks for the inspiration!
