Well, it's one week until Thanksgiving. Our governor is restricting gatherings because of a resurgence of the China virus. My son and his family have cancelled out on us. My hubby's family have decided not to come either. My Mother-in-Law is 90 years old and doesn't feel safe going out.
Looks like it will just be hubby and myself. But, we both have decided that our celebration will go on. Even amidst a pandemic we can still give thanks for blessings.
Now onto my card for today. This one I created for the color challenge #814 on Splitcoaststampers. LeAnn was the hostess and she chose bumblebee, pretty peacock, and shaded spruce for her color trio. Optional was to use a die or punch.
I decided to keep it simple and let the background paper be the star of this card. I have had this designer paper from the Stampin'-Up "come to gather" collection for a couple of years and have wanted to use it for a Thanksgiving card. And, then LeAnn chose the colors on the paper. Whoo-hoo!
I die cut a stitched oval die and added some stalks of wheat cut from bumblebee cardstock. The wheat stalks are from the CottageCutz die with the same name. It's a retired die and out of stock.
Stamped my sentiment in shaded spruce ink. This stamp is from the September 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit. To complete the card, I scattered a few bumblebee enamel dots.
Well that's it for me for this post. So until next time.......God bless.

Beautiful fall card, Mary! I think there are many of us in the same boat for Thanksgiving so I am counting my blessings that our family has not seen the China virus. Thank you for playing along with us at Double Trouble #71. (I am retired from 30+ years in telecommunications.)
