I was playing around with Distress Ink Sprays one day, and came up with this beautifully-mottled background. In order to keep it part of the focal point, I added sparing details: stamped pumpkins, a sentiment, and a few stamped leaves. Then, I surrounded it with an embossed frame.
The pumpkins (Stampin' Up! Autumn Harvest) were stamped on lined paper, inked with Distress Inks, then trimmed out and placed on the background. Sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping's Little Phrases.
As you can see in the picture below, I stamped the leaves (also from Autumn Harvest) directly onto the background, and then once on lined paper, trimmed out and popped up on foam tape.
This was such a joy to make! I love autumn, my favorite time of year. And as I get older, I appreciate the profound meaning of our Thanksgiving holiday...but my heart has thanks-giving in it every day of the year. My life is full of blessings from above.
Thank you for coming by today!

Wow, this is stunning, Colleen! I love that embossing folder frame and the rich, sparkly autumn colors you used are just beautiful! I'm with you, I love autumn and Thanksgiving...more and more as I get older!
Your playing around gave you fantastic results! Beautiful embossed frame, too.
At first glance your background looks like metal!! Beautifully done Colleen. This is an incredible card!!
