Vintage Autumn Leaves

When I saw this post by Heather Telford, I was so inspired that

I took some time to play some more with the Vintage Leaves set.

I really like this set!

Then I saw this post by Alexandra

and I knew the layout.

You might say I had a case of the CASE!

The outcut piece was just laying there beside a piece of cardstock

that had been sponged. 

They looked so happy together.

I used my retired Stampin' Up! Spiderweb Embossing Folder

to add some veins on the leaf.

The card base and stamping is Blackberry Bliss.

My camera wanted to turn it to black.
(My camera has a mind of  it's own!)

Thanks to some friends I have 2 Thanksgiving cards.

I'm thankful for my inspiring friends!

Both cards have been mailed to friends
so I'm linking up with 
Jennifer McGuire's Share Handmade Kindness Challenge

and

I'm also going to link to
Susan Raihala's Thanksgiving Challenge
Isn't it a shame that Thanksgiving is squished between Halloween and Christmas?

and

Simon Say's Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thanks/Thanksgiving

and

Curtain Call Challenge

Doesn't that top blanket make you think of Autumn leaves?

I'm thankful for your comments, encouragement and inspiration too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!
