Now, for my card. I used the pumpkin image from Theresa's "Autumn Beauty" stamp set. I stamped the image once on the die cut and then again, on a scrap of cs. I colored both with Copics, but cut the one image out and popped it up next to the other. Now, for all the patterned strips. It is home made washi tape. I used double sided masking tape. I attached white tissue paper to one side of the tape, smoothing as I went along. I then trimmed all the edges, as close to the tape as possible. Using Gina's "Bold Flowers" set, I stamped with black Memento, then sponged with Rusty HInge and Walnut stain Distress inks.
Make sure to leave comments as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (November 1), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!
I am happy that you have visited, but now it's time to visit Joy's blog and be wowed!!!!

nice thanksgiving card! colour combo is so nice!
Love your card. Fall/Autumn is my favorite time of the year. Your choice of paper & coloring of the pumpkins captured the season. Thanks!
Surprising how the focal point elevates just enough with the those pop squares beneath. I can imagine the focal being just glued on. This is much better!
What a great Thanksgiving card. Love all the fall colors you used.
