Happy Thanksgiving

Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

Here we are almost halfway through the month of November. Thanksgiving is just 2 weeks away. I am still making Thanksgiving cards. I usually send out at least 10 cards to family and friends. So, I need to get them finished so I can get my Christmas cards done. Since Thanksgiving is late this year it's just a short time till we reach Christmas. 

These 2 holidays are my favorite ones of the year. I love the family time, cooking for the big days, decorating and making my handmade cards. So, let's get started with some details of my card today. 

This one I made for this week's color challenge #1026 on Splitcoaststampers. We were to use daffodil delight, granny apple green and crushed curry for our color trio. Neutrals are also allowed. Optional this week is flowers.
daffodil delight, granny apple green, crushed curry

For my Thanksgiving card I used the Turkey Day die from Spellbinders. I cut his feathers in daffodil delight and pecan pie. The body in crumb cake, feathers in chocolate chip and for the wattle I used copper. All these additional colors are neutrals.  

My leaves are cute from Bristol smooth card stock, and I sponged fossilized amber, granny apple green and pecan pie to get a Fall look. I added some sunflowers to cover the optional item.

That's my card for today. So until next time.......God bless.
