Marvelous Monday! Celebrate Fall and Thanksgiving



Good Morning everyone!

It is Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images. The air is becoming crisp and the leaves of the trees are changing colors. Its the perfect time to celebrate fall and start thinking about Thanksgiving. This week at Shelly's Images, we are featuring the image "Pilgrim Girl." Available for a special price today only in the Shelly's Images store. Hurry over get it for yourself at the special price, before it's too late.

Check out Shelly's Images blog for creative inspiration from the design team, using today's featured image, Pilgrim Girl.

And now for my card. I used the sketch from Creative Inspirations, for my card layout. Of course, I am using Pilgrim Girl, from Shelly's Images, colored with Promarkers. I used sponging around the image to add color and remove any white from the image. I've had this gorgeous fall ribbon for a long time now. I received it in a ribbon swap and had no idea what to do with it, since I don't usually use ribbon this wide. Once I seen this image, I felt like it would be perfect for this ribbon. The image is pop dotted onto the ribbon, for 3D effect and dimension. The background paper is a scrap from my stash.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

  1. This card is just perfectly done Sammi! You did such a wonderful job with the coloring of this image. I love the sponging behind the image and as you know I LOVE that ribbon. I have a little of that super wide ribbon too and it is always difficult to know exactly how to use it on cards. Your use is wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration.

  27. Hope my turkey comes out looking that yummy! I'm already planning my Thanksgiving menu though I have to admit it's not that difficult as I cook basically the same things each year. My family complains if anything is missing! LOL Terrific card! Love the shadowing around the edges! Great image!
