Today's colors: Always Artichoke, Tangerine Tango & Chocolate Chip. These made me think of the fall, even though it's in the 90's today! So this is my first Thanksgiving card. I stamped each leaf with the colors, cut them out & popped them up. I colored the sentiment with markers and sponged the edges of my panel to match the leaf's life. Have a wonderful Tuesday & remember to give thanks for even the little things in your life. ~Roberta

Roberta you are so ahead of the game...I never would have thought of making a Thanksgiving card..even though these colors are fallish. Your leaves are very pretty done in these colors, I like the design and how you used all colors for your sentiment. It's hot here today,too I'm giving thanks for my a/c...

I love your card! I almost used leaves and then didn't. I love how you sponged the edge of the image the same color as the leaves in that area of the image. So clever, I never would have thought of that. Stay cool, it's in the 90's in Wisconsin too!!

This is beautiful. Love the leaves and how you made them pop even more with the sponging. Love it. tfs It sounds like we both had the avacado refrig that wouldn't die> What a great idea to paint it. Now days my kids would toss it out.

LOVE how you use different color sponging to match up with your leaves...it really sets them off!
