Happy Thanksgiving

It's our Thanksgiving today!

We celebrated with my mom and her boyfriend yesterday in Winnipeg. 
And tonight, we're going to my SIL's for supper.
So, two nights in a row without having to cook supper is definitely one of the many things I'm thankful for!

I wanted to share a fall card that I made.


I used some Echo Park patterned paper as my background. 
For the tree, I stamped my image in versa mark and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
Then, I pressed some ink onto my stamp press and with a paintbrush dipped in water, I coloured in my leaves. 
A little twine with some buttons finishes it off.

Thanks for looking!

Such a pretty card. So, when you paint on top of the embossing powder it stays and doesn't rub off?

Happy Thanksgiving, Leigh. You did a wonderful job with that tree. I remember that you used just as creatively it for other non-wedding cards in the past. Almost makes me want to buy that stamp set.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving. This is a fabulous card--I forgot all about this tree stamp. Super idea to water color those leaves.
