  I seems like I just posted yesterday, when in fact if has been a week.  Time flies.  I will be going to St. George, Utah next week for a retreat with the Founders Circle.  I am really excited about going.  I hear we are treated like royalty.  I have to make 135 trading cards and I have not started to make them yet.  I have to get busy.

Here is a Thanksgiving card.  I got the idea from Splitcoaststampers and changed it a bit.  I hope you like it.  It uses the Autumn Harvest set (110372 for $17.95) and several masks for the stamps.  You can make a mask by stamping the stamp on any thin piece of paper and covering both sides with clear contact paper and cutting it out.  To use the mask, stamp the item in the front first, cover it with your mask and stamp the item that is behind the first item.  I did this with the gourds in the front,  I then placed another mask over the second gourd and then stamped the smaller pumpkin.  I continued using masks until the entire image was stamped.  I colored the image with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons.  I think it turned out very nice.  I love to watercolor so I use it as often as I can.  I hope you will try this card soon.  Have a blessed day and thanks for coming to my blog.
