The siding contractors are just about finished with the house! I'm so over the noise and interruptions, but thankful for the lovely new exterior on the home we have occupied for 36 years!
I am wrapping up my fall/Thanksgiving cardmaking. I adore this time of year, and making cards in the deep fall hues and colors. But, alas, Christmas is creeping ever closer, and I need to get cracking on those projects soon.
For this card, I used chalk pastels, and Impression-Obsession stamps. I started with an A2 kraft colored card, and decided I wanted to keep it one layer. I stamped the berries with VersaMark, then used a cotton applicator to apply the color to them. The verse was stamped with TH distress inks in walnut stain. A white spattering of acrylic paint, some white colored pencil on the berries, and a hand-written border of thankful words complete my card today.
My card today is for these challenges:
Impression-Obsession Challenge - Thanksgiving Wishes
Cas-ual Fridays challenge - Orange, brown, and kraft colors
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Thanks/Thanksgiving
Sunday Stamps challenge - Autumn splendor
The Daily Marker - 30 day color challenge
Thanks so much for stopping in today. I hope you are getting the lovely warm days that we are. It could get up to 70 degrees tomorrow here in upstate New York! Mid November! We'll take it!
Blessings,

I'm just popping in for another quick post tonight. I wanted to get this card posted before celebrating our soon to be six year old granddaughter's birthday this weekend.
I used an oldie but goodie leaf stamp, by Personal Stamp Exchange (remember them?) from wayyyy back. I love this stamp, and will never let it go.
I embossed the leaves and the Giving Thanks sentiment with gold. The sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday clear set.
Keeping it really CAS, I layered a piece of gold paper from my stash onto some grape card stock, cutting around the T in Thanks with my craft knife so the gold panel would fit under it. Then, I scattered the leaves and some sequins over the card front, using foam tape behind a couple of the leaves for dimension.
That's it for today. Happy weekend to you all! Thank you for stopping in today.
I am adding my card to:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Thanks/Thanksgiving
Stamp, Ink, Paper - Grateful
AAA Cards Challenge - Thanks
The Daily Marker - 30 Day color challenge
Blessings,
