I loved the simplicity of a single layer card and the seasonal color palette. The inspiration for this card was not made with Stampin' Up! products, so I changed the stamps, the colors, the sentiment, and the papers to current Stampin' Up! products.
The card base is a 4-1/4" x 11" piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock scored at 5-1/2".
The variegation on the leaves is done by pouncing sponge daubers directly on the stamps with Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, and Cajun Craze ink. I tried experimenting with the ink placement. I pounced each ink color in a striped pattern, pounced a lighter color only on the tips, put a darker color only on the tips, and even blended two colors together.
The possibilities can be endless, and each leaf will turn out differently. I bet Elegant Eggplant would be a stunning addition!
There were two strips of paper on the bottom of the inspiration card's card front. However, I changed the top paper strip to gold washi tape from the Year of Cheer Washi Tape collection. I am swooning over the Year of Cheer washi tape collection, especially the gold washi tape! So elegant!
The bottom strip is from the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper stack and measures 1/2" x 5-1/2". Surprise! This Christmas themed paper is also great for fall!
The inside is kept simple with plenty of room for writing a Thanksgiving message to friends and family. You could also add the "I am thankful for you" sentiment from the Painted Harvest stamp set.
I hope you give this Thanksgiving card a try! I would love to see what you create!
