Good Morning Everyone!!
I have a project to share today that I made for the currently Peachy Keen Stamps challenge. I have to say this challenge really threw me for a few days.
According to Wikipedia a Potluck dinner is a gathering of people where each person or group of people may contribute a dish of food prepared by the person or the group of people, to be shared among the group.
I thought this would be a great opportunity to get a jump on this year's Thanksgiving place cards and since I host Thanksgiving every year and other's bring dishes to pass, I pulled out some of my PKS that were food related and made the following 6 place cards.
Now that I started these I will have to make the rest that match our meal. Those will come as it gets closer to Thanksgiving time.
Anyways here they are...please click on the pic if you want to see the group larger. I did take additional pics of them individually so that will help too :)
Here are all 6 together! I had so much fun picking the images I wanted to use along with the papers that were all fall related. I will take you through each one now so you can see them up close...sorry about the below average pictures...I took them last night with very poor lighting..
The base layers are all the same for each place card. I used Kraft Cardstock, MCT Stitched Journal Die and the Vintage Label die along with pattern papers from Echo Park. Since I didn't have the matching SVG for this adorable corn, I decided to make my own. I love the border that is around that corn :) I finished this off my bringing out my sewing machine for a little stitching and stamping the "corn" minus the "Y" for the label.
Here is my turkey. I did the same thing for the base and again made my own SVG for that adorable Turkey. I paper pieces part of him and then colored the rest using my copic markers, some white gel pen and chalk.
How super adorable is this pumpkin??? Don't you just love his face...LOL!!! I didn't have a "pumpkin" sentiment stamp from PKS so I used a part of a MCT stamp instead. Again I made the SVG for this cutie too!!
I LOVE these faceless fruit from PKS and I used the matching sentiment set for the "apple". All the sentiments I used are parts of longer sentiments, so I did a bit of masking to get the wording I wanted.
Not really sure how much Ketchup fits into the Thanksgiving theme, but I couldn't pass up using these adorable condiment bottles...That was my original thought too...to use "Condiments" as my sentiment...but love the font and look of the Ketchup sentiment so I went with that.
Finally here is the last place card. My cute cherry. I think these will look adorable sitting next to each of the fruit pies, the corn and of course the turkey.
