Season of Thanks.....

Hello everyone: I noticed the other day that I'm low on my Thanksgiving cards and I need to add a few more just so I wont get all crazy trying to make some with very little time to spare.
Here is this one that I will also link to a few challenges at the end of this post.


I still have some of my beloved Lili of the Valley pattern paper, I like it a lot because it's one sided, I can't imagine turning this pretty pattern upside down. This card is pretty simple, I stamped this leaf from the retired Stampin' Up! set called "Gently Falling" that came out back in the 2011-2012 Holiday Mini catalog.  I stamped this leaf on watercolor paper with SU markers then, I went over the image with a damp aqua painter to move the colors around.  I added some spots with another retired SU set called "Gorgeous Grunge". The little sentiment is from Flourishes.

****************************************************************
I've been finishing the inside of my cards to save time when I need to mail them, here is a picture of this one.


The sentiment is from "A Season of Thanks" from Flourishes (retired) and the leaf is from a Our Daily Bread set called Autumn Blessings.

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Hi Maria! What a pretty card... and I'm loving that gorgeous leaf! Thanks so much for joining us for our autumn leaf challenge at Words 2 Craft By. :)

Oooh, Maria, beautiful! I, too, have a problem with double sided paper. If it's pretty on both sides I can't bear to sacrifice any of it, so it may not get used at all. I love how you colored the leaf, and the paper is the sweetest! A petite pattern that makes it good for cards. Yes, it makes me crazy to leave the insides unfinished, so they're always lined and decorated before I can move on. I'm so glad to see your card in our Leave it to Me Challenge at Double D. Thanks for joining us!
