Thanksgiving

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Thinking Of You Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: THANKS/THANKSGIVING 

I've gone for a rustic traditional approach to my Thanksgiving card, with a mixed media twist. 

It all began with a sheet of watercolor and some leaf printing. I gathered leaves on some of my foliage trips with hubby, painted the back with watercolor, and then printed onto the watercolor paper. Since it is cold press, it has a lot of texture, so the leaves are more abstract.  

 I stamped a couple of images from the Prima set. Once the ink was dry, I went back in with watercolor. 

I also distressed the edges with ink and a paper distressed. 

I added some foliage ephemera to the stamped images. 

Final step after constructing the card layers was to splatter with gold gouache.  

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
