Happy Friday, everyone! Brrr, it's cold here in SE PA! But the sky is blue and the sun is shining so all is well! I had some time this morning to make a quick little Thanksgiving card using the FMS sketch, and I am also entering it at Simply Clean & Simple, where their theme is "thanks".
A while back I purchased some "inexpensive" clear stamps from an online company...they were little and cute, but required a wee bit of TLC to get them to stamp clearly. I finally had success by running a pencil eraser over each stamp before inking....much better! So I used three of them to make my Thanksgiving card:
I stamped the images in Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Pecan Pie, and the stitched lines in matching colors. Each image was diecut with an Ornate Frames die:
The sentiment is from an oldie, Good Greetings:
And the inside is an even older oldie, Falling Leaves:
Another to add to my Thanksgiving stash! Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!
No snow like some parts of the country, but the view from my front door showed lots of frost this morning....before the sun hit it! AND lots of leaves waiting to be raked!

Cute take on the sketch, LeAnne! The lines remind me of barbed wire. They would make a great fence!
