Happy Monday friends! I love to create Thanksgiving cards that are simple and warm. The sketched look of the Fall Pumpkins Stamp Set from Rubbernecker was perfect for some faux no-line watercoloring using Tombow Dual Brush Pens. I added an easy background with one of the newest cover plate dies to keep the focus on the soft images.
- Using Tombow Dual Brush Pens, apply color directly onto the pumpkin stamp from the Fall Pumpkins Stamp Set using the side of the brush nib.
- Press the image onto some watercolor paper and drag some of the color out of the lines with a slightly damp brush. Add just enough water until you have created a watercolored look, but still retain some of the original line art.
- Repeat with the rest of the images from the Fall Pumpkin Stamp set. You can always add additional color to an image by scribbling the marker onto a nonporous surface, lifting ink up with a wet brush, and painting it in areas when needed.
- Cut the images out using the coordinating dies.
- Trim a piece of mustard cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″.
- Die cut kraft cardstock using the Organic #1 Cover Die.
- Adhere the die-cut kraft panel on top of the mustard cardstock using liquid glue, then add it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.
- Stamp a sentiment from the Kittie Says Phrases #1 Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair Shady Lane Ink.
- Die-cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Inside Scallop Nested Die Set.
- Arrange the watercolored images on top of the card front and adhere them down using liquid glue and foam adhesive for tons of depth.
- Add the sentiment strip to the top left corner with foam adhesive.
I hope you enjoyed this simple and warm Thanksgiving card and thanks so much for stopping by today. Don’t forget to check out all of the beautiful new stamp sets from Rubbernecker and have a great week!
