Well, I finished slapping together my Christmas cards, must be a record, I really missed not doing all that coloring & cutting. I bet I won't wait until the last minute next year!! It is really a pain having all my toys at one house, then going back to the other house, I could carry the stuff back and forth, but that also would be a pain.
I don't usually make Thanksgiving cards, but my Aunt in AL just loves the cards I send her, and she is trying her hand at it now, she sent me a Halloween card, which I don't bother with either, so I figured what the heck, I'll make her a Thanksgiving card, then I realized since my Mother is down there right now, I better make her one too. Haven't decided which one goes to who yet. Instead of making them identical, I changed some stuff, they can compare and decide which one they like the best. Who knows, my Aunt might wind up with both of them, since she saves every one I have ever made.
This is the second card, I was in a hurry and decided to use the SU markers instead of prisma-colored pencils. I stamped the boy image from CDS Billy & Maggie Fall Fun with onyx black versafine ink, colored with SU markers, cut out with circle nesties. chose some dp from DCWV The Fall Stack, then chose a color for the scalloped circle. Stamped the image for the designer label with from the CDS Designer Label Celebrations set with riding hood red, then cut out with the CDS Designer Label Die set, stamped Happy Thanksgiving with vintage sepia versafine ink, and cut out with the CDS Designer label dies. Punched out some extra leaves with a leaf punch and taped & glued it all together. Then added white liquid applique to the top of the hat, and colored the eyes with a black glaze pen, and added a dot of white gel pen. TFL and any comments.
