So Much To Be Thankful For

Hello friends~  Today's card fits a number of challenges.  I love it when that happens!
I started by cutting the Memory Box Stitched Pumpkins and Poppystamps Stitched Pumpkin Leaves out of water color card stock and colored them up using Zigs.  I added a strip of Lawn Fawn plaid paper and some brown glitter paper down the left side and stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Thankful Heart in brown ink.  A spattering of sequins finish this card off.

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Double D Challenges ~ Autumn Blessings ~ Give Thanks
Dies R Us ~ Thankful for Nature
Poppystamps ~ Plaid is Rad
Memory Box ~ Giving Thanks
Time Out Challenges ~ Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart

I'm thankful to all of you who stop by and visit my blog and especially to those who take the time to leave such kind comments.  I do love hearing from you and knowing you were here!

Blessings ~ Birgit

Wow! This card is magnificent. Every detail is perfect. That plaid is a beauty, and the coloring on your pumpkins is enviable. The brown glitter strip and brown sequins are the perfect finishing touches. I will be Pinning this to my "Cards I Love" board, so I can be inspired at any time. Thanks for sharing, and have a lovely Thanksgiving with your family.
