I haven't played along at The Kraft Journal in a while, and I love this week's sketch! I decided to make another Thanksgiving card, since Canadian Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away. I'm also entering this card at Little Red Wagon's Fall challenge.
I was inspired by my Snarky Sister (and Evil DoubleMint Twin) Chris, who shared a card here using pencil crayons on kraft. I haven't done that in ages, so I dusted off my Prismas and got busy.
Supplies: Stamps from The Craft's Meow; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Prismacolor pencils; Lily bee papers; Claudine Hellmuth orange paint; classic small circle Nesties; buttons & green rhinestones from Dollarama
See that horizontal strip? That was a whoopsie. I'd dotted it with orange paint, and then when I set it aside to dry, stuck my big ol' thumb in the wet paint. AUGH. Luckily I noticed right away, so I went back to the drawing board & used a toothpick to make it look more like I meant to do that. Once it was dry, it seemed to need a little extra something, so I added the gems. Opportunities for embellishment, people, not mistakes ;)
Here's the sketch:

Great job. Love the warm colours. Thanks for playing along with us at LRW!!
Oh! Love the blurp you made on the orange spots - sometimes it make you more creative to cover up the spot. Beautiful card, Jessi!

Such warm colors that are just perfect for this time of year. I would have never noticed the little oops with the orange paint but the added gems gave it just the right amount of sparkle.
Awesome card!! I love the colors and the pumpkin is cute and i love how you colored it!! Your 'oppsie" is awesome, would have never known, i though at first it was ribbon!!
Fantabulous card! And thanks for the shout out, EDMT! You rock! Oh, and there are no mistakes when crafting. Like you said, only opportunities to embellish! ;)
Super card, great use of the sketch.
Oh, I'm quite good at creating opportunities, too. :D Terrific colouring and card!
