...Another Inspired Sketch

This is my submission for both Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #65, and for SCS's Inspiration Challenge #153. The sketch is pretty self-explanatory, but the inspirational piece comes from Boden USA's clothing website. I just loved the colors on THIS pair of galoshes...so rich and fall-like. I decided that a Thanksgiving card would be the best way to go with theses fall colors.

I used the set "Autumn Harvest" from Stampin' Up!, and stamped it in Jet Black Staz-On Ink onto a piece of 90 lb. Watercolor Paper. The gourds were then watercolored using an Aquapainter and the following Stampin' Write Markers: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Only Orange, Summer Sun, and Going Gray. The sentiment, from "Holidays & Wishes", was stamped in the black also using a Stamp-a-ma-jig and Image Sheet for proper placement. The leaf from the set was watercolored on a scrap piece of watercolor paper, cut out using CutterBee Scissors, then attached to the focal image with a Dimensional.

The completed panel was matted with Tangerine Tango Cardstock and Chocolate Chip Cardstock. A circle was cut from a piece of patterned paper from the Frosty Day Designer Series Paper pack using the Coluzzle Cutting System. I faux stitched the edge with a Mat Pack, Paper Piercer, and Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker. It was attached to the Kraft Cardstock base using SNAIL Adhesive. The focal panel was attached to the base using Dimensionals. Instead of adding another circle panel in the upper left corner of the focal panel, I added a piece of Silver Swirl Hardware with a piece of 5/8" Tangerine Tango Striped Ribbon tied to it.

That's it for now! I have a couple of other sketches to work on, so I may have one or two more things to post later on today. If not, I will see you all here tomorrow with a card for the Featured Stamper Challenge at SCS.
