For my first card I used Fun Stampers Journey stamps, dies, and splashes.
I started with a white piece of card stock that is 3 3/4 inches by 5 inches. I placed the paper in a box and then sprayed it with FSJ Journey Splashes Sweet Berry, Pineapple Smoothie, Citrus Cooler, and Shimmer Gold. I used my heat gun to dry the paper faster. I cut the turkey using FSJ Holiday Box Window Plates Die set and the leaves using the FSJ Thxgiving Die set from gold glitter paper. I placed these on my card stock and used a pop dot on one of the leaves to make it pop. I used a brown marker to color in the turkey. I stamped the sentiment from FSJ Thanksgiving Medley stamp set with black ink. I adhered my stamped paper to a black piece of card stock measuring 4 inches by 5 1/4 inches. I then placed this on a decorative piece of paper that was just smaller then the card base. The card base is an A2 base from craft card stock. I glued some copper colored sequins to finish the card. I love the watercolor effect that you get from the splashes. Make sure you spray in a confined area or it can get all over.
My second project is a tag using Julie Nutting's doll stamp "Collette" and some leaves I picked up at Dollar Tree.
I stamped the "Collette" stamp onto white card stock with black Memento Ink and colored it with my Copic Markers. I stamped the doll coat on a piece of gold swirled decorative paper. I fancy cut the doll and jacket out. I glued the jacket to the doll. I cut an 8 inch tag out of heavy card stock and then covered the front and back with decorative paper. I punched a hole in the top for the ribbon. I used VersaMark Ink on the sentiment and heat embossed it using gold embossing powder. The sentiment is from the stamping bella
"Casey has a cornucopia" stamp set. I adhered the doll to the tag and layered leaves with a liquid adhesive into a skirt. I used pop dots on the sentiment. I placed a gold piece of string through the top and the tag was completed. I used this card for a tag swap and the recipient loved it!!!!
