Feeling Thankful.....

Hello everyone: This time of the year is a favorite of mine, not only because of the gorgeous colors of the Autumn but because the Holidays are almost here and that means awesome reunions with family and friends, good food, festive colors, love and appreciation for all our Blessings, big and small.
This time over at RETRO RUBBER we want you to share with us your cards with the perfect theme for this time of the year, "Be Thankful", here is my card.

This image is from Inkadinkado, in the process of looking for this stamp to give you a date I found out it's discontinued and it's only available on Ebay listed as RARE, I'm so darn lucky I've had it for a good 8 years. 

I stamped this image onto a piece of Strathmore Muli Media water color paper that I die cut with the retired SU die set called Floral Framelits, with Versafine black ink and clear heat embossed it then, colored it with SU markers and an aqua painter. The pattern papers are from a discontinued line from Lili of the Valley and the sentiment from a Flourishes set called "A Season of Thanks".

Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.

The sentiment is from that Flourishes set also and the corner stamp from my stash.
