My next card in the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place is for the letter "G" and I have a Thanksgiving card to share. The image is pre-colored clip art, printed in gray scale, and colored in my own chosen colors using pencils and alcohol markers. I added Glossy Accents to the hot chocolate cup for a bit of shine. Fortunately, it photographed really well. I also added glitter to the steam coming off the cocoa.
Once colored, I cut the image with a Tonic Studios die, then matted it with a scrap of dp, also cut with a die (QuicKutz, I think. I forgot to write it down.) I decided to make a gate fold card and went searching through the scrap basket for papers to put on both sides of the gate. On the left side (mostly covered by the image piece) I put Glossy Accents on the flowers. For the right hand side, I used small rectangles of CS and put them onto the flap one above the other.
I put glitter EP on each of those small rectangle snippets and heat embossed them. I love the sparkle. The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die, then placed at the top of the image piece.
