Thanksgiving Card



I have another Thanksgiving card to share today. This one includes some  leaves and acorns done with Spellbinder dies, and colored with Distress inks, then clear embossed with a heat gun. The circle was done with a MFT stitched circle die and stamped with a Unity sentiment, adding a brown pearl, gold gemstone and a sequin. I tied a piece of copper cording around the gathered leaves. The side panel was embossed with a Darice ef and I added a strip of early espresso cardstock to separate the embossed panel from the leaves dsp.

I'm sharing this with the Dies R Us Challenge #107 - Anything Fall related.

Here in PA we've gone straight from summer into a very chilly autumn.  I hope we have a few comfortable autumn days before old man winter unleashes his wrath again! LOL
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Very pretty multicolor leaves! This is a wonderful thanksgiving card!

Yes, it is chilly, I think the temp will be good today, but there isn’t any sun! Have a good day!

Totally gorgeous. I love the way the colors blend. The embossing was a perfect touch. Enjoy the weekend.

Oh, such fabulous design!!! It could be an inspirational sketch :) Love so much how looks the orange embossed stripe behind the beautiful topper! Those leaves look just amazing and very realistic and the cute piece of cord around the acorns! Adorable!

That is a totally gorgeous embossing folder with the leaves and I love your die cut leaves and acorns. A perfect card. We have had a lovely day here in the UK. Even had lunch sat in the garden as it was that warm and sunny. Hugs Mrs A.

Just loving the colours you've achieved on the leaves, they look like they have the smallest hint of frost on them. The addition of acorns are so sweet, gorgeous Thanksgiving card x

The colors on these leaves are so gorgeous, and you've really captured the awesome color these oak leaves can become. Of course the copper tie looks great with the autumn shades. I like the design layout, and the orange EF looks very pretty with the leafy dp. Just a lovely card, Carol. TFS & hugs.

Such a pretty Fall card, Carol! Love how you've been making these realistic looking leaves! Beautiful embossing on the left hand side! I gotta find that EF!! LOL I think we went straight from summer to winter because there has not been much in between. I love Fall and hope we get a few days of it before winter officially arrives. TFS and stay warm, my friend! :)
