May your joys be countless

Another Thanksgiving card for the challenge at The Shabby Tea Room, using a vintage image that I found on Google.  I think this is a real keeper of an image - the sentiment is exactly right:

For love present,
ills past,
and good to come,
may our hearts rejoice
this Thanksgiving Day.

May your joys be as countless
as the golden grains


I stamped the background grains on kraft cardstock using tea dye distress ink and Hero's Silhouette Grass stamp, added that to a darker brown card, then framed my printed image on brick red to bring out the barn in the image.  Added some lace edging and the very, very last of a spool of this golden ribbon and a button, to reflect the sunset.

Supplies: kraft, brick and brown cardstocks, Hero Arts S5316 Silhouette Grass, tea dye distress ink, scrap of lace, golden ribbon, button

Lin...I really like all the details of this card...and the image is a keeper for sure. It reminds me of Iowa growing up...except for the mountains... AND you just keep cranking those cards out....so amazing!!
