It's Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend!
Last spring I created this festive frame for the Fall Issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine where you can see this project... on new stands now. I love fall projects and have a few lined up for the month of October!
I wrapped a 4x6 canvas with burlap ribbon. The coloured the Occasions Found Relative boys with distress markers.
An easy way to frame out the photo is using twine. Next I grabbed some woodgrain watercolor paper and spray stains for my
layered leaf.
Spritx the stain on the craft mat, blend with water and drag.
Spritz with water to help blend, dry and cut. I then inked the edges and added some water droplets for a distressed look.
I inked up the letterpress blocks with distress paints. I then cut the
Upper Typo for Thanks... add a little colour with carved pumpkin and ground espresso. More water droplets for distressing.
I attached the letters of THANKS together. Start layering...
Inky and distressed for the Give on the letterpress blocks turned out awesome.
Give Thanks
For more Fall Inspiration you can get your copy of
Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. The magazine is stuffed full of projects by crafters like you and me!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Canada!
