Leafy Thanksgiving

I am trying to get all of my Thanksgiving cards finished this week. I really like the sketch for Tuesday Morning Sketches this week and combined that challenge with the Splitcoast Stamper Challenge to use fiber on your card today. Here's my card:

And here's the sketch:

Instead of using a circle, I made a cascade of leaves. I got this idea from Sister Sandie at Spiltcoast stampers. She created a beautiful card with cascading leaves this week that I just loved and had to case it. Here's a link to her card.

I started by die cutting all the leaves with a Darice die. I sponged some distress ink in matching colors along the edges and then went back with some brown distress ink. The brown is darker in real like. I don't know why it looks almost white in the photo. Anyway, I stamped the greeting with Archival Jet Black ink at the bottom of the yellow panel, layered it onto brown CS, added the burlap ribbon and then attached it to the cream card base. The leaves were glued on and then the twine bow was added. I really like the look of these leaves.

Thanks for stopping by today!
