give thanks

 Hello there crafty friends!
 
Crazy that we're already five days into October and the leaves are changing colors.  This is my very favorite time of year.  I love the warm colors, crisp air and wearing my sweatshirts!
 
Today, I'm sharing my team card for A Cut Above Die Cut Challenge Blog.  Die cuts are my passion and I combined them with fall colors to create this card.
 
give thanks
 
I used a beautiful plaid paper matted with gold for the background on this square card base. The maple leaves are a two piece set with a creamy lace patterned paper as the solid backing and more of the gold for the veining.  The oak leaves are cut from the gold also.  I stamped the sentiment, cut with a circle die and matted it with a gold, scalloped circle.  The sparkly enamel dots were a perfect match as an embellishment.
