FTTC188 So Grateful

~

Good Tuesday morning, everyone!  I hope your week is going well so far!

Today our Timeless Tuesday challenge hostess is Maki and she's asked us to make a Fall Themed project.

My first choice of images was my Autumn Blossoms along with the Silhouette cut file.  It's SO convenient not to have to fussy cut such beautiful detailed images, isn't it?

The image and the sentiment are both stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock.  And the beautiful patterned paper is from the Alla Prima collection.  I sponged the sentiment oval while it was still in the die, using Walnut Stain ink and my ink blending tool.  

The dark brown panel is actually from my scraps stash.  It was made long ago by crumpling cocoa colored cardstock, then flattening it out again and sponging Walnut Stain Distress ink all over it.  Finally it was painted with some clear crackle paint and dried with a heat gun.  It ends up looking a lot like well-worn leather.

I did a LOT of coloring on this gorgeous image, using these Copic collections:

I'm entering my card in the C4C155 challenge, which is to make a thank you card or a Thanksgiving inspired card.

I also just loved this week's ISSC34 sketch and decided to use it as well.

I just love the ColourQ Challenge #156 colors too!
