Happy Thanksgiving from OMC!

We here at Oh My Crafts want to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Most of All

 

Thanksgiving Day brings to mind
the blessings in our lives
that usually go unnoticed:
a home that surrounds us
with comfort and protection;
delicious food, for pleasure
in both eating and sharing;
clothes to snuggle up in,
books and good entertainment
to expand our minds;
and freedom to worship our God.
Most of all we are thankful
for our family and friends,
those treasured people
who make our lives extra special.
You are part of that cherished group.
On Thanksgiving, (and every day)
we appreciate you.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Colored Misting Spray : Orange Hues
Leaf Shaped Punch or SVG Cut
Deep Edge Punch or Edge Die
Brads 
Instructions:

2. Use scrap paper to punch or cut out the leaves to use for misting to create the leaf silhouette shapes on the page.  

3. Once the leaves are cut out, lay them out on the page where you want the image to be. Take the mist and spray over the leaves. Leave in place for 2 min. This will allow dry time, after the two min, take the leaves off, this will give the image outline on the page. 

4. Using the large leaf punch, punch 4 leaves in contrasting/coordinating paper. 

5. Cut 3 squares one in brown corrugated cardboard, one in kraft corrugated cardboard and the last one in Artisan paper. These will be what you mount your pictures on. Cut according to size of picture.
