Harvest Happiness Thank You Card by Lexa

Hello Sunny Studio friends! 

Lexa here with another Haverst Happiness inspiration card.  I believe it's almost fall somewhere out there. Imagining all the beautiful leaves and weather makes me want to travel to where you are. But since I don't celebrate Thanksgiving or the fall season, I tried to make a thank you card with all the pretty fall colors.

I started my card with a 4" x 5.5" white cardstock and die-cut a circle window on the top center of my card. I blended Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey Distress Inks on my circle panel and also stamped two sizes of pumpkins with an orange ombre ink pad, that matches the pumpkin border on the bottom. I mixed the sentiment from two stamp sets, Autumn Splendor and City Streets, just because I need to thank someone for spending their time with me. I hope it will make someone's day.

Rather than watercoloring my images as I usually do, I choose to paper-piecing the pumpkins instead. And I'm glad I did because I think it looks so cool with all-patterned pumpkins. :) I colored the stems, leaves, and tiny hearts with my alcohol markers to make them look more solid. To add some sparkles to this card, I also add some clear sequins along with the pumpkin border.

Harvest Happiness Watercolor Thankful For You Card with Vanessa

Hello everybody! Vanessa here with my Harvest Happiness card. We do not celebrate Thanksgiving here in Germany, so I chose to create a more neutral autumn card. The colors of fall make me so happy! 


Sunny Studio Stamps: Harvest Happiness Watercolor Fall Leaves & Pumpkin Card by Vanessa Menhorn.

First, I trimmed a piece of watercolor paper slightly smaller than my Kraft card base and stamped/heat-embossed the small leaves from the set with white embossing powder. Then I applied watercolors around the embossed images and added droplets of color around them. After it was dried, I adhered the panel to the card. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of purple cardstock and adhered it. Now I stamped and heat-embossed the pumpkins onto watercolor paper, colored them with watercolors, fussy-cut them and adhered them with foam tape. To finish the card off, I added matching sequins.

Autumn is in full swing here and I am happy the pumpkin season has started! Nothing like a good Pumpkin Risotto :) What's your favorite pumpkin recipe?
Thank you so much for stopping by!
