Thanksgiving Card

I wanted a Thanksgiving card, really, an I came out with this one.  I think it turned out nice, right?

I inked the leaves and to be honest with you, I was experimenting with inks and I didn't write down the inks I used, I'm sorry.  I do remember ;) that I stamped the leaves with the En Fracais background stamp, inked them and then I sprayed them with sparkly ink and wrinkled them up and that give them the texture you see.

I used:

Big Shot Autumn Accents die
Circle framelits
En Francais
Blooming with kindness stamp
honeycomb embossing folder
Whisper White and Pear pizzazz Cardstock
Scallop Oval punch
Inks: More Mustard (retired) Pear Pizzazz.

I became a Stampin Up demonstrator this year, and even though I have been making cards for a while, Stampin' Up products, just made me fall in love with the craft all over again. 

The idea for this card came from giving a special friend some flowers for her birthday and here it is:
