Rick Adkins : season of thanks

Hello and welcome to this month's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop. It's Fall still even with the temperature that has dropped to a cool Winter chill. But sometimes it happens that it starts getting colder during Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving in the States is only three weeks away, and we all have a lot to be thankful for. During this time of the year in the US we celebrate Thanksgiving a time to be thankful for everything in your life. Over the last year there has been a lot of ups and downs good and bad that have happened. I am thankful for so much during this season of thanks. I am thankful for the time that my Baby brother had to stay with us during his recovery before his untimely passing, I am thankful for my supportive customers and friends. I am thankful for being part of this training program again this year. I am thankful for so many things so with all that in mind I wanted to create a card to represent these and all the other things I am Thankful for this season. Let's have a look at my card.

Basically for my card I used scraps of the Come Together Designer Series Paper and puzzle pieced these scraps into a design that was pleasing to the eye. I like to refer to this as the Puzzle Piecing or Patchwork technique. This is a fun way to create especially if you have hit a brick wall in the creative process. By working in this technique you free up your mind to get past the blocks that could be keeping you from creating. Once I had the design figured out I added mats to the designer series paper. Some of the layers were popped up on dimensionals, some where just glued down using liquid glue. After stamping the pumpkins I used my Wink of Stella to create a watercolor look on the pumpkins. I cut them out using the matching dies, and added them to my card.
