I received these fabulous Birch Tree Kitchen Sink Stamps in the mail just before Thanksgiving, and I knew immediately I had to use them for my Thanksgiving cards this year. Fun! I placed the circle die where I wanted it and taped it in place. Then I stamped the trees using Distress inks. I cut the circle next. On the card base, I traced in pencil where the circle would be so I knew where to create the scarecrow scene. Stamped the scarecrow using the MISTI tool, then used watercolor pencils with gamsol to color the image. The pumpkins were stamped on scrap paper, colored with pencils and gamsol and fussy cut out, then adhered to card front. Cut the word Happy on the cricut and stamped the Thanksgiving sentiment. Sponged in some green and blue to create a soft fall scene. My friend Donna gave me this scarecrow stamp and it was such a joy to use this in my Thanksgiving cards.
