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!
ReplyDeleteYes, 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.
ReplyDeleteOh, 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.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Carol.
ReplyDeleteJust 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
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful with those wonderful leaves and the embossed leafy panel. And the background pattern paper is wonderful too.
