Stamped Background

Hello everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving! Today I am sharing a quick gratitude card using stamps from Concord & 9th and Memory Box.

I love the leaf images included in this stamp set, and I used all of the outline leaves to create a stamped background that I colored with Copic markers. You can find all the colors I used listed below in the product list, but I kind of mixed and matched colors with each leaf, to keep a variety. I added shading and depth to the leaves using gray Copics.

I blended distress ink around the edges of the card to create a yellow-orange card base that fades into white. With the Decorative Tag die from Pretty Pink Posh, I did some partial die cutting to create a fun shaped panel to layer behind my sentiment.

On the panel I added some sentiments from Concord and 9th, as well as a few more leaves from the Autumn Birdie stamp set that I fussy cut out. To finish it all off, I tied some ribbon and twine around the card.
