Happy Thanksgiving!
Whether you're in the U.S. and today is your Thanksgiving day or not, I wish you all a blessed day today and encourage you to spend some time like I will be - counting my blessings.
Today's is the last card with a fall theme that I'll be posting in awhile. Tomorrow officially starts the Christmas season, and with it several family birthdays and anniversaries.
This is a pretty simple card. The sentiment is in two parts. "Happy" is an outline sticker, and "Fall" is a piece cut from one of the sheets in a DCWV Mat Stack. All of the papers and card stock - except the cream colored ones - are from small Fall-themed Mat Stacks. I had cut the green glitter piece before my die cutting machine broke, and decided it was a great shape for holding my sentiment. I traced around the die on my cream colored paper and cut it out to form a mat for the green. A square orange piece was cut from scraps and matted with more of the cream paper (cut with scalloped edge paper cutter). All pieces were inked before adhering them in place. I think it would have looked a little better if the focal had been moved just a bit to the left - but I didn't have time to perfect these cards! A couple of ribbons form a border of sorts, and the I used three different colors of ribbon bows to finish off the card.
