Thankful leaves FMS263

Here is my card for day 19 of the

Color challenge on

The Daily Marker Blog.

You find all the details there.

But this card is also a scketch challenge from the

Freshley Made Sketches Blog.

The color inspriation is from outside in my garden.

The beautiful yellow tree and

all the leaves on the ground.

So I started my card with stamping 

Michael Strong's pumpkin stamps and embossed 

them with Orient Express embossing powder.

The next step is cutting some leave shapes out of the 

pumpkin with thinlits from Stampin'Up!

Here are all the leaves for my card.

So I took my distress markers and colored

all the leaves.

For the finished card I added tiny yellow and green

gemstones. You see also leaves on the background.

Thoose are embossed on the card and colored

with brown distress ink.

For the bottom of the card I used this lined design paper

and had the idea of writing the word thankful on

those lines with a black pen.

And this is the result on the card. 

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
