ASM - Make Your Mark ....

...  Good evening, I'm on a roll today!  I'm back with my card for our new challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More!  This week it's our Make Your Mark challenge where you make a mark - pencils, pens, stencils, chalks, pan pastels, inks - your choice.  Here's my card:

Stamps: QKR Stampede Digi - Indian Corn; Waltzingmouse - Peace & Plenty
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Lost Lagoon, So Saffron, Tangelo Twist
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU DP - Birthday Bash; Copic Markers; Wink of Stella - Clear; Cuttlebug EF - Autumn Type

I need to make some Thanksgiving cards for my stash, and the colours over at The Paper Players - PP#262 are just perfect.  Indian corn is a variant of normal yellow maize, but it's multi-coloured and is often used to decorate homes here in the US for Halloween and Thanksgiving.  I printed the image on white card, coloured with Copic markers, cut it out and added some sparkle to the cobs with my clear Wink of Stella brush.  I cut a piece of design paper for the mat layer (matches the colours in the corn cobs) and adhered it to the card.  I cut a white panel on which I stamped a simple sentiment and then embossed with autumnal words.  I attached the Indian Corn image with dimensional gel.  On the inside I cut another mat of the design paper and added a Thanksgiving greeting.

I took a close up photo of the corn cobs - you can see the shimmer.  We had bright sunshine when I took the photos, it was gorgeous.  Don't forget to visit our blog to see more inspiration pieces from the rest of the team.   Have fun!
