What wonderful autumn colors Mary gave us today, and the dessert being Thanksgiving cards made my choices easy.
Stamped the cornucopia from Always on My Mind on PTI cream CS in Memento Tuxedo black and colored with Copics. Distressed the edges and sponged with Memento Desert Sand and Cantaloupe. Matted the image and the DP with Really Rust. Cut the leaves with Sizzix originals dies and made a cracked glass finish on each. Tied the raffia bow and added a button. Mounted all to an Artichoke card and added the leaf brads. I cheated a bit by adding a little violet to the grapes in the image and subbed the Rust for Cajun. PT - 3
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

Wow, you really took those colors and went to town with this one! I think the design is incredible and I love how you thoughtfully put together those colors, which I think were difficult colors to blend.

What a gorgeous Fall creation. I like how you did the cracked glass technique on your leaves.

That is just beautiful. What a great image and your have colored it perfectly. The leaves set the tone for a beautiful fall embellished card. It is just superb.
