Autumn Thanks

I am feeling so thankful for all the things in my life this week. With Thanksgiving coming up here next week, I am thinking about all the things I am so thankful for, one of them being this amazing craft that I love so much. Papercrafting is such a special gift, and I am so thankful that I am able to participate in this wonderful crafting community. I am inspired each and everyday by another papercrafter, and I hope that I can someday inspire someone else. Here is my card to celebrate that feeling of papercrafting community.

I know that I have used this image, Tilda in Autumn Leaves, recently on another card, but I just LOVE her so much, I had to use her again when this card came to mind. I love the autumn colors, they are so warm and welcoming, and this cutie image seemed to be the perfect fit!
I added LOTS of Stickles to this image in the leaves, so it kinda looks like Tilda is falling in glitter. In person, it is so shimmery, it is To Die For!!!! The picture totally does not do it justice, it is so sparkly and shiny!
I colored this image with copics:

Skin -E000, E00, R20

Hair - Y11, Y20, YR20, E53

Shirt - YR0000, YR000, YR00, YR01

Pants - B91, B95, B97

Leaves - E08, E33, E35, YR04, YR20, R39
I added lots of roses to this card from iamroses.com. I am completely obsessed with her flowers, they are gorgeous! I glimmer misted the orange rose buds with Oriental Poppy Glimmer Mist. The brown roses were already pre-colored, So I just added Gold Glimmer mist to them to add some sparkle. I also added Stickles to the edges of the roses for some added bling.
I followed the sketch from The Pixie Cottage and Lord Have Mercy (I lucked out as their sketches were SUPER similar, almost identical this week)for the layout of this card. I did have a flip it and move some of the embellies around to make it work for the way this stamp is situated, but I totally LOVE how it came out. I also used a faux stitching stamp that I have to add some faux stitches to the orange layers of the card. I love this look. I wish I could sew, but that is still not a craft I have gotten into, so, for now, I will stick with my faux stitching stamp!
