Happy Thanksgiving

 Hello Friends

I love Thanksgiving it is a time to reflect on how blessed we are!  I have so many things to be thankful for.   I give praise to God everyday for the many blessings He has given to me.  

Today I have a fun little card to share.  It is a 5 x 7 card which is a little larger then I usually do.  I needed the space to be able to build my scene with all the fun dies I wanted to use! I am featuring the Pilgrim & Indian OwlsFall BarrelHavest Pumpkins and Fall Wagon Wheel.

Design Steps:

 

1.  Use a 5 x 7 white card base, cut a piece of cloud DP 4 3/4 x 6 3/4,  use the Grass Slimline die and cut a piece of green card stock and then cut it down to 1 1/2 x 6 3/4.  Glue the cloud dp to the white card base then glue the grass to the bottom of the card
2.  Use the following dies Fall Wagon Wheel, Fall Barrel, Pilgrim & Indian Owls, and the Harvest Pumpkins cut the following colors of card stock: orange, green, white, yellow, tan, dark brown, black, medium brown, kraft, and deep red.  Cut out all the pieces then assemble with a fine tip glue

3.  Begin to glue the dies to the card base.  I glued the wheel down first then added the barrel with the sunflowers
4.  Next glue down the indian owl to the far right add the pilgrim owl and then finally the pumpkin.  Stamp the sentiment and layer it onto yellow.  Glue the sentiment to the card front as seen below and your card is complete
