The Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up in a big hurry - One Week Away !!
So, I decided to make a card to celebrate the occasion. I was excited to use my new stamp set that I received as a bonus from Stampin' Up! - Gently Falling (123804 - unmounted). I used a lovely technique to color my leaves.
I colored the solid leaves with my markers (pumpkin pie, old olive, and cajun craze) and then spritzed it with water before stamping. Then after it dried, I stamped the outline in Early Espresso, cutting the leaves out freehand. I punched out the circle with Very Vanilla, pierced the edges, and glued the bottom one and adhered the second one with a dimensional. I added the espresso ribbon and the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and then spritzed the whole card with Vanilla Smooch Spritz. This would also make a great guys card, if you would keep off the shimmer.
I am soon getting my pictures that we had taken, so I will show you some more. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping !!
Gorgeous, simple, elegant card!

Hi Julie,
Love the leaves, nice coloring technique! I bet they would look fantastic distressed ~ like crumpled and straightened! Can't wait to try it!
