Thankful Leaves – Concord & 9th Feature Friday

Good morning! Happy Friday to you. I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and have something fun planned for your weekend. Me, I’m cleaning, organizing, and purging. Ask me on Monday if it was fun. 🙂

As for today, I am helping Concord & 9th showcase their Thankful Leaves Turnabout and Die Sets, and I love them. I have so very many ideas to use these sets, I can’t wait to show you more. There might be some place cards being imagined for Thanksgiving, also known as Lisa’s favorite holiday! 

This card was very easy to make, honestly. I stamped the turnabout three times, to leave room for a sentiment. The only technique used here is that when I inked the stamp with distress ink, I spritzed it with water before stamping on the white cardstock. Then I let the stamp sit on the cardstock for a few moments before lifting the lid of my MISTI and going on to the next color. I wanted a muted image, somewhat blurry, not too distinct. Not sure why, but it’s just the mood I was in when I was making this. 

Once those colored inks dried I stamped the sentiment in black ink. Since this is on watercolor paper I had to stamp it a few times for a good impression. It’s still not perfect, but I’m okay with that as it matches the blurred leaf images. Sneaky sneaky! As a final touch on the card front I used a woodgrain cover die to add a bit of detail and interest. I then adhered this to a matching layer of yellow cardstock with foam tape, and placed that onto a white card base. 

The entire Where Creativity Meets C9 team is joining Concord & 9th today, so I hope you’ll check out all of their amazing creations.
