Having just driven 865 miles to drop my husband off for a 2 week sabbatical hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail and seeing the leaves in their many stages of color...pre-peak, peak and post peak, I knew I wanted to make a card using the foliage colors. This challenge fit the bill and so it took me no time at all to come up with this one.
The card base is Soft Suede and the Very Vanilla is stamped using French Foliage using More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Garden Green and Soft Suede. The DSP is called Well Worn and the leaf was hand cut using Riding Hood Red and distressing. The little turkey (on the card, not my husband) is from the Gift Givers set and water colored. The ribbon is the quilted satin in Early Expresso from the current mini catalog.
P.S. It is only 2 months until Christmas and only 1 month until Thanksgiving! How is it going with your cards and gifts?
