Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.
Welcome to Fall and the month of October. I have my house all decorated for Fall but didn't add my Thanksgiving decorations yet. I will do that mid-month. We are still having temperatures in the 80's here in Pittsburgh so it doesn't quite have a Thanksgiving feel as yet. And my hubby's garden is still going strong- vegetables and flowers.
Today I am featuring a Thanksgiving card that I made for the color challenge #962 on Splitcoaststampers. We were to use granny apple green, real red, crushed curry and coastal cabana for our color combination. Optional was to use die cuts.

I decided to try a Thanksgiving card theme with the colors. I started with my sunflower images. I cut them in crushed curry cardstock and then shaded with fossilized amber distress ink and real red ink.
Leaves are cut in granny apple green and shaded with the same ink. I cut some wheat stalks in coastal cabana and shaded in the same ink to get a deeper color. Artistic liberty here (lol)!!Stamped the sentiment in soft suede ink, added the border die and scattered a few crushed curry enamel dots to complete my card.
Well, that's it for me for this post so until next time.....God bless.

Mary: your sunflower featured card is beautiful! It's so cheery! The scalloped doily as a midline border has a chair rail effect with the leafy print giving a wallpaper look.
