While preparing for my November workshops I decided to create a WOW Thanksgiving card with a twists. (I call unexpected techniques, colors and such twists.)I just love the elegant look of cream pumpkins in decorating today, in fact I look for a new one to add to my collection every year. So why not use this idea in a hand made card?
I first went to my collection of Designer Series Paper (DSP), for the first twist. Twist #1 – non traditional Thanksgiving themed paper. Paisley Prints DSP was the choice! I chose the floral pattern that has leaves and what looks like acorns. I also am using the reverse side. Twist #2– a non traditional fold. Twist # 3 is my Vanilla Pumpkins sponged with Soft Suede and Always Artichoke inks.
Cardstock:
Soft Suede
Always Artichoke
Sahara Sand (it looks like gray in the scan)

Paisley Prints DSP
Teeny Tiny Phrases stamp set

Punches:

This picture shows the left flap open.
I did make an insert using Whisper White carstock
for the inside of the card but forgot to adhere it
before scanning the card- sorry!
The scans oif this card do not do it justice, The sponging is so soft looking in real life & it has kind of a chabby/chic feel to it.
I hope this card sparked some ideas "with a twist"
for your Thanksgiving cards!
Leave a comment and let me know what you think of these "twists".
