Gratitude Card

I just love this card!!! It was pictured on page 87 of the Autumn /Winter CTMH Idea Book 2013. I loved the colors and everything about it so I just had to give it a try in making it. The paper is from the Surf's Up paper pack and the Huntington paper pack along with Cocoa CS. Two stamp sets are used. Fall Harvest for the leaves and Always Grateful for the sentiment. The leaves were stamped first with cocoa pigment ink and then colored with the water brush and a variety of Fall colored inks. (I have a full supply list below.)
To give it some finishing touches I used some Opaque Mocha gems and the Burlap ribbon. But instead of using the Burlap ribbon as it comes I pulled strands out from it and them held them together and tied a bow. I also used a strand to hang the acorn. I still need some practice with my coloring but I was pretty happy how my leaves turned out. What do you think? Any suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks for stopping by!
See you next time.
