Thanksgiving Card

Same card, two different looks. 
The card is from the Silhouette store. I used my eBrush to color the pumpkins and my Silhouette Cameo to cut the leaves.

 This is the first one I did.  It has the "Thanks" cut out in the front of the card. I used Stickles to put the lining under the pumpkins. I like this one because it has a softer touch to it.
 Here's the inside:
 I put a dark colored card stock behind the "Thanks" on this one to give it a more masculine touch. No glitter. The lining under the pumpkins is card stock. This one is actually for my brother.
Here's the inside of this one. I used the color gradient tool to create the background. This was my first time using the advanced features in my Cameo software. I love how it turned out.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your holiday!!  Remember the real reason for the day....to give Thanks!

Thanksgiving Card

Let us remember, Thanksgiving, is to give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness!! Let the world know what he has brought you through! Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

I made this card using my Craftwell eBrush for the background in the oval. You can learn more about this product here on their website.I'm still very new to using the eBrush, but I am having so much fun practicing! I can't wait to try different techniques with the eBrush!

 Here's a close up few of the background. I used 4 different Copic markers to create this effect.
Here is a picture of the the card stock I colored with the eBrush . I started coloring at the top with the lighter marker and then gradually added the other colors until the entire paper was covered.  I made sure to place the die so that I could get all 4 colors on the oval shape. I recommend that you go ahead and color a large area of card stock so you can use the leftover piece for another project later.

Sympathy Card using my Craftwell eBrush

A few weeks ago, I colored this peacock with my Craftwell Ebrush . I am just now figuring out what to do with the image. It has so many colors that I decided to keep it simple and put it on a card.

All I need now is for my Mojo to come back home so I can play some more with my new toy. My creative juices are all dried up. (insert sad face here) Oh well, maybe everything will return to normal when I get over whatever this is going around.

I colored the peacock using Copic Markers and I embossed the background paper with the Teresa Collins Woodgrain folder for the eBosser, also by Craftwell.
