Sketch Challenge hosted by Sonja and Alphabet Challenge hosted by Ann using Letter A for Autumn.
Recently, I watercolored this cornucopia and had not yet used it on a card. The sketch challenge was an excellent layout for it. I selected a plaid pattern with many of the colors I had used in the coloring. The background is plain to keep the focus on the image. I used the ticket and tag corner punches which I havenât touched in a long time. Die-cut the sentiment into a banner and raised it up in the middle with mini Dimensionals and turned up the banner ends. Terrific layout! Ann, you chose a wonderful theme for Letter A! Thanks for looking.

I love your cornucopia, Diane! You colored it so well with your aqua painter. I adore the little heart on the image and the pretty plaid banner, which looks so country~

You have coloured that lovely image beautifully! It looks wonderful with that tartan paper against the kraft background. Love the way you lifted the sentiment label. Super card!

This is GORGEOUS! Stunning Thanksgiving card! I love your traditional elements (colors, plaid, cornucopia), and the simple yet striking arrangement of all the details. Splendid!
