This is the Thanksgiving card I made for my parents:
This is one of those cards that I made last year to have to send this Thanksgiving, so I'm a little fuzzy on the details. I know that sweet scarecrow was Cricut cut using a file from SVG Cuts - a fabulous company that I used to deal with a lot. It was from the Harvest Hill Farm SVG Collection.
Then the 'nice lawyers' at Provocraft decided that the only SVG files that could be cut with a Cricut would be theirs, and they took several companies to court over it. So now, in order to cut any of my non- Cricut SVG files I have to buy a different machine. (As soon as I get some room in the studio - I'll do just that, and I haven't purchased a single new Cricut cartridge since then.) Really, was there a good reason why everyone just couldn't play nice with each other? The 'big guys' had to make even MORE money and wanted the 'little guys' share? Bah.
Anyhow ..... I created a little scene for the scarecrow by sponging onto a white textured panel and inking the edges. A texture stamp was added here and there as well. To create the moon, I simply punched a circle out of white scrap paper and discarded the punched piece. I laid the paper scrap over my panel, and when I had the cut-out circle where I wanted it, I sponged yellow ink through the hole. When you remove this scrap paper mask, you have a yellow circle - or, moon!
The scarecrow was mounted with foam tape onto the scene panel, which was mounted with foam tape onto a patterned paper panel - then onto the A2 card base.
To my family, friends and fellow Canadians who are having their Thanksgiving Dinner today - ENJOY!
Thanks for stopping by today.
so cute!
