Time for another set of notecards. I wanted to do something Thanksgiving but I don't have any traditional images - no turkeys or pilgrims or such. Instead I decided to pull out one of my favorite leaf stamps and use that. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this stamp is from Spunky Stamps, but don't depend on me for that one. Whenever I use this stamp, I always like to use my watercolor crayons. Depending on how wet I spray the stamp, this image can be blurry or very detailed with all the leaf striations.
I used orange and red crayons and colored right onto the stamp. I then spritzed it with water. I usually kind of go over it again a little bit with the crayon once wet. Then stamp. A lot of times I will do several generations with the one spritz which gives me all sorts of neat variations on the same image.
I found this leaf paper in my (HUGE) stack of patterned paper and thought it matched quite nicely.
And here is the set of them. If you look closely, you'll see the ones on the left are a bit "thicker" for want of a better word. The leaf images on the right are a bit more delicate.
I'm thinking of sending in quick Thanksgiving notes to the teachers tomorrow since it's the last day before the vacation starts.
If you are traveling for the holiday, I hope you have safe travels!
Such pretty colors.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
