This is the first of four, first-of-the-month, DT posts I have and I'm sharing my DT card for the new challenge at Simply Magnolia. This month our theme is everyone's favorite, "Anything Goes."
We all share moments of gratitude and this sweet little Tilda by Magnolia Stamps is showing her gratitude for all things, even turnips and parsnips. :-D I know this looks like an A2 card but it's actually only 2 x 4.5 inches. I did it that small to give the illusion of the stamp being larger.
I colored with ProMarkers, then cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. I inked the edges of it so that it would stand out from the background. I used another Spellbinders die to cut a left over scrap of fall dp, inked the edges of it, and put it behind the image piece. Everything is layered onto an embossed card front.
As embellishment, I added three of my signature-style, hand-sewn bows, leaving them white this time instead of dying them. I printed the sentiment onto a scrap of white CS, hand cut it, and matted it with a scrap piece of beige CS.

I love fall - it's my favorite season. The oppressive heat of summer has finally gone and the evenings are crisp and cool. It's fun to dig out the sweaters and heavy socks, and my cats come to cuddle me in the night, seeking that body warmth they know is curled up under the covers. It's a great time to hide in the craft room and be creative. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
