We are heading into a long weekend! Getting ready for Canadian Thanksgiving, and it’s one like none before, that’s for sure! I am giving thanks for the health of my family, even though we won’t be gathering together like normal. I am giving thanks for employment, and giving thanks for support of friends. I am always thankful for having a creative outlet – and the bonus that I am able to turn it into a business as well.
I made this card with the Banner Year stamp set. I love that this set has a variety of sentiments and images – it’s very multipurpose! I stamped the centre pumpkin first, then created the mask by stamping the pumpkin image over the sticky portion of a post-it note before cutting it out. I put the mask over the centre pumpkin before stamping the pumpkins on either side – to give the appearance that they are behind the middle pumpkin. If I remember, I keep the mask in the stamp set box so that I don’t have to re-do it each time. The pumpkin stalk & leaf are a separate stamp, and I used the brush ends of Stampin’ Write markers to ink the stamp before stamping in place. I used a piece of the In Good Style Designer Series Paper to add texture and interest easily. Bonus – it’s one of the Designer Series Paper on sale this month!
I hope that you have a happy Thanksgiving! I’m looking forward to a long weekend, eating some good food and spending time with family – even though we will be face-timing with some, rather than having face to face time. I’m also giving thanks for you! Thank you for visiting the YamStamps blog and supporting my business.
