Season of Thanks and a Blog Hop

Happy Sunday! Are you surprised to hear from me today? I don't normally post on Sundays, but today is the 15th of the month, which means it is time for another Stamping Symphony Blog Hop!

This month we are featuring our favourites from the new Holiday Catalogue. My project uses some of my most-loved items...check it out:

It is no secret how much I love fall and the Come to Gather Suite is one of my absolute favourite fall suites ever. The patterns and colours in that gorgeous paper are perfect, not just for fall, but for almost any season. Here I have used two patterns from the Come to Gather DSP, as well as images from the Gather Together stamp set and paired them with the beautiful Frosted Frames dies. The beautiful die-cut frame is too pretty to use just for Christmas and winter! I die-cut the frame from Early Espresso card stock and then added springs and branches cut from fall colours. The result is a decidedly fall thank you card.

The pumpkins are stamped in Cajun Craze ink and then coloured using the Light Cajun Craze and Light Crumb Cake Blends. I love that the Cajun Craze Classic ink doesn't run with the alcohol markers! Discovering this pretty much made my day...it doesn't take much to make me happy ;)
The only embellishment on this card is a pretty double bow tied from Cajun Craze Linen Thread. With so many pretty images and die-cuts...it doesn't need anything more!

On the inside I added a Whisper White panel on which I stamped another sentiment from the Gather Together stamp set in Early Espresso ink. I also stamped and coloured another pumpkin, as I did on the front, as well as some wheat sheaves in Early Espresso ink, stamped off once.

I have to say, I am in no hurry to work on Christmas cards...I'm having too much fun with this gorgeous fall suite!  Be sure to hop on over to Sandy's blog and see what she's been up to...
