Today I am sharing with you two projects both using the same Thanksgiving sentiment, "A Special Time". The first one is a card made using  Leaves Die Set. These dies cut beautifully and the veins in the leaves are so detailed. The coloring on the leaves was created by using distress inks. I broke down the fibers in the paper by using a ball stylus, this also gave the leaves their shape. 

My second Thanksgiving Wish was created using a burlap panel. I have embellished the sentiment with several different die cuts. The leaves are from the Oak Leaves and Rake set. The branches were cut from the Reading Tree. The sweet pumpkins and apple are from the, "Pumpkin Patch" and "Bushel of Apples" die sets. The background has been airbrushed with a Copic marker the color of pumpkin pie, yum!

Thank you for taking time to look!
