Hero Arts Mixed Media Happy Thanksgiving Card

It is November and that means Thanksgiving is almost here. It is one of the Holidays that we can send cards to express our gratitude to our families, friends, relatives, co-workers, bosses, and to anyone who has been a great blessings in our lives. Today, I would like to share with you a Thanksgiving card.

On today’s card, I am using the Hero Arts – Color Layering Grateful Leaves stamp set. This stamp set is beautiful and I cannot stop making cards with them. And I keep it clean and simple, too, for mail-friendly purpose 🙂

I did some experiment with alcohol inks and glossy paper. After mixing colors and got inks all over my craft mat and fingers, I ended up with some fun and unique background panels 🙂 One of them ended up with Fall colors. And that what I used as my background card today.

I stamped the maple leaf randomly on the background panel with archival black ink. Archival works the best on non-porous and glossy paper. After that, I used my craft heater to dry the panel well and then added it on the white A2 cardbase with a lot of adhesive runner.

For the sentiment, I cut a strip out of watercolor paper, added some color wash with Spectrum Noir Aqua markers using acetate plastic, and stamped the sentiment from the same staml set with Archival black ink. I embellished the sentiment strip with some natural twine and added it on the card with 3D foam tape. I finished the card with some orange gems to match the Fall color combo on this card.

I hope this card inspire you to create today. When you create a card or any project with embellishments,  link it up with our November Challenge – Embellish It.
