I love clean and simple cards and fall colors. When given this month's challenge to feature gratitude and thanks, these two stamp sets and these feather dies were the first images I thought of out of our Holiday catalog. I know feathers are not colored like leaves are but I colored them the way I did anyway to straddle that line between seeing it as a feather yet alternatively imagining it as a leaf.
Please see the list of all the current Stampin' Up! products I used.
