Creative Worship Stamps Vintage Thanksgiving Cards

Hey there friends!  I'm so happy to have my first stamp set released this month!  I designed the Faith Definitions for Creative Worship Stamps.  The set includes faith, grace, love, forgiveness, salvation, reconciliation and hope.  They are great for cardmaking, scrapbooking and Bible journaling!  

I used them to make the background on this card.  First I dipped my panel in Antique Linen DI and stamped the leaves from Casey's Peaceful Botanicals set.  Such a pretty stamp!  I watercolored the leaves loosely, then stamped the hope definition over it in Rusty Hinge that I off stamped and spritzed with water before stamping.

I folded a strip of torn vellum around the panel then adhered the Praying for You die cut, which is from the God is Near set.  I really love these!

For my next card, I used the stamp of the month, Thanksgiving Pumpkins.  I colored them a blue/green, inspired by the pumpkins at my local farmers market this year.  I made a background using Distress Inks in Antique Linen and Speckled Egg, then sponged over it with Vintage Photo and SE through the Circle Pattern Stencil.  

I added some stamping from the Vintage Snippets, the script and the months.  The acorn is from The Colors of Fall stamp set.  

I was really enjoying using the Circle Patterns Stencil.  I made an inky background with Peeled Paint, Gathered Twigs and Rusty Hinge, then smashed my embossing ink through the stencil and embossed with Distress Glaze in a light color.  Then I dipped the panel back into Gathered Twigs to make the dark pattern.  Such fun!

I layered the Thanksgiving Pumpkins over another inky panel stamped with the Faith Definitions.  I finished with a little tag and a loopy bow from Sari ribbon.

Here's a closeup of that yummy background...

My final pumpkin card is a little dramatic!  I was digging through old ink pads and came across Cranberry Adirondack, so I made an inky panel with it and layered with colored Thanksgiving Pumpkins.   

The leaf portion is from The Colors of Fall set.  I fussy cut around the leaves leaving me with two pieces from the one panel.  Between the two, I tucked an embossed sentiment in solid cardstock.  I splashed the panels with metallic watercolor paint.  

Friends, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving and pray you always remember the Giver.  Let our hearts be full of both thanks and giving.  xx, Autumn
