Leaf With Gratitude

Hello and happy Monday friend!  Thank you for joining me here today.  I am so excited because today I am being featured over at the Paper Crafts Connection blog today, I do hope you will stop over there and see!  I was lucky enough to have eight cards chosen for publication for the Card Idea special issue.  I submitted 22 cards for that call, that is how much I love sketches!!  I don't know if I could ever do that many again!

Anyway, I had a bit of crafty time over the weekend and decided to make a Thanksgiving card.  Seriously, I don't want to even think about the end of fall yet!  I mean, really, it hasn't even started, but I figured I would get a head start on those thank you's for all of the delicious food I will no doubt consume on that day.  I revisited Cath's Moxie Fab World Fabulous Felt challenge and created this:


I started by adhering a strip of Autumn Abundance patterned paper to the base of the card, along with a brown card stock strip.


I took the Leaf Prints set and stamped the vein image onto Simply Chartreuse and Harvest Gold felt and hand cut them out.  I don't own the dies yet, someone please tell me why this is?  I then adhered them to my card with Scor-tape.  Threaded a big orange button with twine and secured it on.


Lastly, I took a sentiment from Timeless Tags by The Craft's Meow and stamped it in brown ink.


I have a few more to do, but this is a start!  I hope you enjoyed and I will catch you later!  Have a great day.

Lindsay

Paper: Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate Papertrey Ink

Stamps: Leaf Prints Papertrey Ink, Timeless Tags The Craft's Meow

    Love this card. So crisp and clean and you have GOT to get those dies, girl! I don't have them - or the set (haha)- but if you're going to have the stamps, you HAVE to have the die! :)

    Awesome sauce on getting 8 cards pubbed - that was the evil issue of disappointment for me, nothing selected here, so yay you! Love your fall card and I'm with you, not ready for fall yet at all!
