Couldn't miss the current CASology challenge with the cue word "Harvest." I used Rosemary's technique of embossing with a piece of burlap for the card base. All the edges are sponged with Distress Inks antique linen & gathered twigs. The wheat is from Our Daily Bread & is colored with Distress Markers mustard seed & wild honey. I stamped 3 times without re-inking & added some scattered straw Stickles. The sentiment is an old favorite wood mounted stamp by Imaginations!--another company no longer in business. I pierced a border, added twine & mounted the piece with foam tape. Pretty flat, so will be a good Thanksgiving card to mail. I'm also adding this to the collection at The Simplicity Blog to save Thanksgiving.

Happy Harvest
Bummer I have to work tomorrow. How is World Card Making Day not a national holiday?! Hopefully can get in on some of the fun in the evening.
