Autumn Thank You Card

My birthday was this past Monday, and I was so blessed by the kindness of friends and family. I've been working on thank you cards, and this one is for my daughter in the Navy who lives in San Diego. She sent me two very thoughtful gifts, so I wanted to make her a special thank you card. 

I used MFT's Snow Swirls Cover-Up Die-namics die to die cut white card stock and then I blended MFT's Candied Yams ink over it. I thought the stitiched swirls looked like the wind blowing the leaves around. 

I adhered the background to my light orange A2 card base and then die cut 2 leaves from the retired SU! Love of Leaves bundle out of some orange ombre card stock. I stamped "thank you" from a Hero Arts stamp set and "U R GREAT" from a Lawn Fawn stamp and then adhered the larger leaf with liquid glue and the smaller leaf with foam tape.
