HAPPY THANKSGIVING BERRIES: A5 Quick Card With Decoupage, 8 Sentiment Tags & Commercial Use
These "pen and wash" fall/autumn berries make a stunning way to send a Thanksgiving card that'll look lovely as it is, but also comes with your choice of 8 sentiment tags. (This also means that the card works really well for lots of occasions, and not just Thanksgiving).
Finally, as with all my designs, you're free to sell any items you physically hand-make using this sheet, whether on cup or anywhere else. Hope you enjoy it!

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Clare has provided this original, delightful hand drawn seasonal scene of berries and leaves to make a quick card.
I have chosen to use the matching background sheet, cup918222_7993 as the main card.
I printed this onto both sides of an A4 120gsm white card and cut it at 25 x15cm, reserving the extra pieces for decoupage use.
I defined the edges with a pale brown pen before attaching the next set of backing sheet.
I have defined the edges of the 14.5 x 11.5 cm orange backing sheet with the same brown pen before attaching the 14 x 10.5cm chocolate brown backing sheet the edges of which are defined with a silver metallic pen.
I printed the sheet provided twice onto an A4, 120gsm white card and used one copy to cut out the main image and define the edges with a silver pen before attaching this to the backing sheets.
I used the gold and the narrower apricot ribbons together, to place horizontally at the top third of the main image and to then secure them at the back of the orange backing sheet and then used D.S. tape to attach this topper to the card front.
I used the second copy to carefully cut out the smaller main image reserving the frame to use as part of the insert.
I attached this smaller image to the card front using padded D.S. tape.
I coloured the gold peel off strips with a brown pen before attaching them to the edges of the main smaller image.
To complete the insert, I attached the frame to a slightly larger white card and defined the edges with the brown pen and then attached this using D.S. tape to the lower half of the insert.
I used some of the berries and leaves and a sentiment to attach using thickened white glue.
I added some gold glitter dust to the card front, added some tiny pieces of berries and leaves as decoupage, to give the image some depth and slipped the narrower apricot ribbon under the left hand side of the ribbons and tied a single knot then secured the tails using red power tape.
I am so pleased with the result. Pamela Horton. The Whispering Platypus.
