We Thank You Lord

>> Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Hi Everyone,

I have one last fall card to share with you today.  Thanksgiving is next week...are you ready?  I've taken the bold step by ordering a complete heat & eat meal for the first time from a local grocer. There will only be 4 of us around the holiday table, so I thought I'd give myself a break this year, and not cook :)  I'm a little nervous, but I'm telling myself not to compare anything to the usual side dishes I make, that have been passed down to me from my mom.  BUT, I'm not going to lie... I'm really going to miss not eating the southern peach yam bake...sniff sniff… Oh well, there's always  Christmas dinner, right? 

For my card, I began by using the Thank You Lord Greeting and die cutting it.  My laziness for cooking has bled into my cardmaking, in that, I wanted to use the Woven Plaid to make a background, but not a bunch of different ink colors.  So, I chose to use an orange base and just some brown ink.  Two colors, but only one ink color required!  It looks like it would make a great Thanksgiving tablecloth to me. 


For my fall embellishments I stamped the Fall Leaf with Acorn three times and fussy cut them out, coloring them up with my Copic markers.  I only needed two leaves, but used all three of the little acorns, and a brad from my stash finished it off. 

Happy Fall and Happy Thanksgiving one and all!

Karin

I really like your background plaid. What a great idea to use colored CS! I’m going to try this! Your card is perfect for Thanksgiving with those warm colors, beautiful sentiment & leaves!

What a perfect Thanksgiving card Karin! I love how you did the "lazy plaid " ;) makes sense to me! I wish I could buy a tablecloth like you've made here and you added the perfect embellishment...leaves and acorns! Love it!!
