Feeling Thankful and Blessed

On this Thanksgiving Day, I woke up feeling thankful and blessed beyond measure. I have a loving family, friends and a life that even with some serious hills and valleys, makes me happy. I wish the same for all of you! 

This card looks complicated, but actually isn't. I made it in about 20 minutes! All products Stampin' Up! Don't forget to scroll all the way to the bottom of this post to see more info about my personal "I Want Ink" promotion, because everyone needs more color in their life!

I simply watercolored a piece of watercolor paper measuring 5.25 x 4.00 inches. Dried with heat tool. Inked up the Hardwood background stamp with Versamark and embossed that image with a mixture of gold & white embossing powder on the watercolored panel. I cut the leaf image from that panel. I layered the vellum piece over the colorful background piece, before using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the leaf on top. Finished it off with a simple stamped word, some sequins and gold metallic thread. (thread is under the leaf)
