AUTUMN THANK YOU

The current Essentials by Ellen Mix-up challenge is to use a Concord & 9th product and of course an Ellen product.  Recently bought "Give Thanks" from Concord - loved all the fall stamps and sentiments - and then there were a ton of ideas from various artists during their August birthday celebration.

I gold embossed the leaves and stalk of grain after seeing Jennifer McGuire's technique, only I left all of the little pieces in place.  Used Brushos to create the watercolored piece, embossed the background with a TH folder, added a few sequins and put it all together on a kraft card base.  The sentiment is from the "Stay Golden" set by Julie Ebersole.  Stamped it in black and clear embossed.

Am sending this to a special blog friend as part of another challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and love to read your kind comments.
