Thankful sketch card

I spent yesterday finishing up a project I can share with you tomorrow. I was able to squeeze in the sketch challenge over on SCS. Go check it out, it is a wonderful rectangle layout. Can you believe it is the 197th sketch challenge over there? WOW! It amazes me that they keep coming up with new ideas.

The picture is horrible here, it was so dark and dreary at 3pm yesterday that this just doesn't show you the true beauty of this card. The base is more mustard and then I lined it with the Haiku paper (I just love those mums). The stamp I used is Thoroughly Thankful and let me say I am very thankful this set made the catty. I bought it last year while it was on sale and really only used it once! I am really liking it and love to color in the images. I stamped them on watercolor paper and used my aqua painter to color the images with re-inkers (well, I really just depress the lid of the ink pad and use that as my pallet-works great for me and now mess to clean up). I mounted the images and sentiment onto Old Olive cs and them popped those layers up on dimensionals over a piece of textured Tangerine Tango cs. The ribbon and brads are both in More Mustard. It makes for a nice fall card. I think this one will go to Ryan's preschool teacher to tell her Thanks for all she has done. I know, it seems early in the year to be thanking a teacher, but she actually has been struggling with whether to leave the classroom to home school her own children. She made her decision and her last day is next Friday. I know she is sad about leaving. It is one of those bitter sweet moments. Hugs,
