Thankful for you...




Hi there,

Just thought I'd pop in quick to share a card with you that I made for the The Mixed Media Card Challenge.  Such pretty colors of the leaves in the inspiration photo!  The leaves here in NW Ohio are just beginning to change.  Fall is one of my favorite times of year.  I love the cooler temps and the lovely fall foliage!

And, here is my card...

 
I started with a kraft card base and added black.  I got out my Tim Holtz distress inks and sponged on colors of squeezed lemonade, mustard seed, rusty hinge, and barn door.  I sprayed it with water and let it dry.  The leaves were stamped with StazOn ink.  It is my favorite new fall stamp set from Precious Remembrance!  The leaves look so real...don't you think?  I distressed the cheese cloth and sentiment with antique linen.  Black thread for interest and dimension for the final touch.  Well, back to my laundry and getting out my fall decorations.  Hope you have a wonderful day...take care!
 
Hugs,
Maria
