Thankful Wreath

Good afternoon peeps.
It's time for a brand new challenge over at STAMPlorations. Over at the CUTplorations DT we have been getting in the Thanksgiving mood.
Here is my take on this month's inspiration photo.





As you can see I went pretty literal with my interpretation.

I started by taking my homemade wreath maker and a square of cream textured card and placed it in my guide in the MISTI. You can see how to make one here.
Using some of the smaller stamps from STAMPlorations, the gorgeous Frames and Flowers set.
I started by stamping the leaf sprays in orange DOx, then the small flowers, using a mister to wet the stamps before stamping to get a faux watercolour effect. Before they were fully dry I went back in to over stamp to get a sharper look. I continued to add flowers and leaves until the wreath was filled.

On a panel of scrap card, I smooshed some of the same colours and when dry die cut the THANKFUL word die. Before adding this to the finished wreath panel, I splattered some of the colour over to add a little bit of extra texture. The orange mount was just a piece of card inked with matching orange DOx ink.

OK, that's all from me but for more inspiration and all the challenge Ts and Cs click here and go to the CUTplorations blog.

  10. Beautiful wreath in lovely warm, autumnal colors. I do like the splatter effect and the rather large sentiment that extends from one side to the other. Thanks for sharing your work with us at Inkspirational.
