Hello Monday my friends! Welcome back to this week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - THANKS/THANKSGIVING. Here in the U.S. Thanksgiving is approaching at the end of this month, and it has always been one of my favorite holidays with it's focus on family and gratitude.
THANKFUL PUMPKIN SPICE KITTY
I began with a folded card from Hero Arts and layered on some Photoplay papers. I do love plaids, and the fall colors are beautiful.
I decided to create a smooshed ink background and then stamp my images onto that. I like using watercolor paper because of how well it holds the wet inks. I started with the orange and yellow inks.
Then, I added in a touch of the new Villainous Potion.
Once the images were stamped and fussy cut, I added more detail with a gold pen and markers.

I decided I needed a bit of orange with the red plaid I had chosen, so wiped my clean up cloth over it. Enough ink transferred to add a touch of color.
I added splatters of white and villainous potion, velvet ribbon, and black enamel dots to finish the card.
I am thankful for much this year, including pumpkin spice coffee, lol! Celebrate Thanksgiving with us, or share what you are thankful for and join the challenge this week.
