Autumn Leaves Thanksgiving Card

Created this Autumn Leaves Thanksgiving Card with idea of using text on Leaves.

Used core'dinations cardstock for base & layer. Embossed the base & layer with Woodgrain embossing folder. Used Tim Holtz sander on the embossing. Stamped Kraft cardstock with Stampendous Autumn Words rubber stamp. Cut the leaves from Kraft cardstock using Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves. I had bought the TH Tattered Leaves awhile ago and the first one I bought would not cut but only one of the leaves so I returned and exchanged and got a new one that cuts all 3 leaves. Used raffia on the leaves. Used a Spellbinder die for tag sentiment. Used a studio g stamp for sentiment. Added brown ribbon to sentiment tag.























ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
paper:
4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Base core'dinations Burnt Sugar cardstock
1 1/4" x 5 1/2" Layer DCWV brown textured cardstock (scrap)
Kraft cardstock - Leaves (scraps)
cardstock - yellow (scrap)
raffia: golden yellow
ribbon: Spool O' Ribbon
Spellbinders: Shape Ribbon Tag Trio Two
stamp: Stampendous Autumn Words, studio g - sentiment
Tim Holtz: sander, Tattered Leaves die, Woodgrain embossing folder
