My 5" x 5" square SC355 Thanksgiving card. I kept it pretty simple so as to show off the detailed Always Thankful stamp. I colored the image using SU watercolor pencils and blender pen. This is such an easy way to color and great for detailed images.
BTW.....the cardstock used for framing is "Early Espresso" although it looks black in the photo. EE does have a lot of black tones in the dark brown color, which I really like. The scallop dotted ribbon is Choc. Chip, but goes very well with Early Espresso.
Enjoy and happy fall.

Very nice Nancy, you used the layout so well and if you look at my gallery you'll know it's a favorite of mine with or without that bottom panel. Your fall/Thanksgiving card looks great, wonderful job coloring and I like the ribbon.

What a nice, warm feeling this card gives. I like the softer effect of your coloring using the watercolor crayons. It works well with that particular image. Great job!
