A Harvest of Thanks

Hello! Hostess Tami here with a fall thank you card to show you today...

The card features gorgeous, harvest themed diecuts using Spellbinders Orchard Harvest Tags and Accents set.

The pieces were cut and embossed using kraft cardstock and then spritzed using Smooch Spritzes. To add even more texture and dimension, ColorBox Chalk and Dye Inks were used to highlight the embossing and distress the edges...

The sentiment was also stamped on a piece of kraft cardstock that had been spritzed with Smooch Spritz...

The upper portion of the card front was stamped with a subtle design using Chalk Ink...

A ribbon and bow trim divides the unstamped portion of the card front...
