Thankful Thoughts of You - Technostamper #275

It's crazy how fast the summer is going.  We are past the midway point and starting to slide into Autumn.  Already the night time temperatures are reflecting this.  There's still plenty of summer left, so enjoy it.  However, I couldn't help but start making some Autumn cards for the Technostamper challenge here

I am off to Vancouver today, so this will be my last post until I get back on Aug. 21st.






 

Techniques:
The leaves were die cut using Very Vanilla and the Autumn Accents die.  I then put them through the paper crimper and sponged them with various colours.  A spritz of water on the coloured leaves helped the colours to blend.  When dry I sprayed them with gold smooch.
The 1/8" taffeta ribbon I coloured with a Baked Brown sugar marker.

Stamp: Grateful Greetings
Inks: Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown sugar marker, Baked brown sugar ink
Papers: Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Sweater Weather DSP, Baked Brown Sugar
Accessories: 1 3/4 by 7/8" oval punch, Scallop border punch, Autumn Accents die, Paper Crimper, 1/8" vanilla taffeta ribbon, gold smooch, dimensionals
