I made this plaque for a Thanksgiving/autumn basket for our scholarship auction. I am also putting in a pumpkin spice jar candle (for which I may or may not make a label--haven't decided yet, probably will) and a box of pumpkin bread mix.
I was inspired by an item I saw in the Nov/Dec issue of PaperCrafts magazine, or possibly their holiday issue. I am, after six years, letting my subscription lapse. I think I can get more and better inspiration from the internet.
I used a Basswood Round from Michael's. I used the Thanksgiving seasonal cartridge and my Gypsy to cut the phrase out of dark brown vinyl. I cut it at 8" wide, which works out to be 3.13" tall. I hot-glued wired ribbon (LOVE that stuff!) and a fall floral pick from Mike's to finish it up. I'm also including the easel. I like how this turned out. If no one else bids on it, I just might get it for myself LOL!
Thanks for dropping by today. Have a creative day!
