PP566 Season of Thanks

Hi there everyone!  The first Sunday of November, and Claire is our awesome Paper Players hostess!  She's got a very timely theme for us:

 

I should have saved my big fat turkey card for this challenge, but truthfully, I have many seasonal images in my stash of stamps that I can use, and I pulled out a couple of real oldies but goodies for my card today:


Nature's Seasonal Borders is one of my all-time favorite stamps!  I stamped the fall border with some Stazon ink on Shimmery White cardstock and watercolored my images in.  Once I was finished, I trimmed it down and mounted it on a piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock on which I had stamped a fall image and sentiment from Harvest Home, then embossed with the Subtle embossing folder and did some sponging around the edges.   Here's a closeup of the images:



I added a couple of diecut leaves that I subtly watercolored to add a little dimension.  I just love the line images in this set, and I hope you do too!  Thanks for popping in today!  Be sure to check out what the other designers created for our thankful challenge, then share yours too at the Paper Players!

  9. LeAnne, they might be oldies, but they are fabulous. That border stamp is classic and you colored the images beautifully. The tone on tone on the background adds wonderful texture but doesn't detract from that wonderful focal layer. Another fabulous card
