I don't send out very many Thanksgiving cards but I do send a few to old friends who now live across country from me.
Starting with Vanilla cardstock, I used a Stamploration stencil and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to cover the panel with leaves. Then I pulled out my leaf dies, Spellbinder, Impression Obesession, and Elizabeth Craft Design. After running them through the Cuttlebug, I sponged the edges of some, added pencil on some of the veins, and embossed the large leaf with Copper embossing powder. The sentiment (? company) is also embossed with Copper.
The main panel is backed with Copper Metallic paper and then both are adhered to Saffron cardstock.
The sketch I used is found at
Tuesday Morning Sketches.
