A Season of Giving.....

Hello everyone: Tomorrow, September 22nd. is the official start of my most favorite time of the year,
AUTUMN, I needed to increase my small stash of Thanksgiving cards so I created this one which I will enter onto a few challenges at the end of this post.


One of the things I love the most about Autumn is the amazing colors all around, the beautiful temperatures and, believe it or not, racking leaves.
This image is from an old and beloved Flourishes set called "A Season of Thanks" which has two more images and sentiments just as beautiful as this one.
I stamped it onto a panel of Strathmore water color paper with Versafine black ink and clear heat emboss it then colored it with Sakura Koi water colors and the Basic Gray SU marker for the vase.
The sentiment is from the set and it's stamped with SU Hello Honey ink.
**********************************************************************
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.


The sentiment is also from this set, I love the font. The little leaf and acorn are from my miscellaneous small stamp stash.

I'm entering this card onto the following challenges.

Oh Maria! What a fabulous image, fabulously and meticulously coloured! I love the layout but you know I'm the sucker for lots of lovely clean space. I agree with you that autumn is the best seasons and the colours of this time of year vibrant and glorious. Thanks so much for joining us this week at The Paper Players.
