First Thanksgiving Card for the Year


I found a great sketch challenge to make this card, but unfortunately it closed yesterday before I could finish this and get it posted. I used a Class Act Inc. stamp to create this card. I colored the image with Copics, and matted it on some Chocolate Chip card stock, then used a snippet of gold that I'd cut off a previous project that was embossed with a Darice leaves ef. The sentiment is by SU! done on a snippet of Pumpkin card and it's all on an Artichoke card base. I added a few dew drop gems along with 2 snippets of neutral and chocolate twine and called this one done.

This is heading to the following challenges:


House of Cards October challenge - Autumn Flowers and/or Colors


The Snippets Playground #336 - anything goes/must use snippets

Double D Challenge - Scare'n Up Some Pumpkins (Scarecrows and/or Pumpkins)


Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a wonderful early Autumn weekend!

Missing a challenge deadline? That happens to me all the time. Seems like the time just gets away from me. I love making fall cards and pumpkins are some of my favorite to do. And once again I love the little strip of embossed paper you added.
