Ready to start making fall thank you cards? If so, check out today’s card. It’s time to play with The Paper Players! (A Brody Update can be found at the end of today’s post.)
I have the pleasure of being the host for this week’s color challenge. I hope you like the rich colors I have selected for you.
With it’s cooler temps and gorgeous colors, Fall is my favorite time of the year. I had so much fun creating this fall thank you card. I hope you enjoy it!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
The focal point of today’s fall thank you card is a trio of colorful die cut leaves. The trick to getting the veins to stand out is to spritz the cardstock with water, then run it through the die cutting machine.
This gorgeous designer paper is from the Come Together collection. I used the Barnboard pattern as my neutral. If you look closely, you can see that I stamped Cajun Craze pumpkins and Merry Merlot speckles on the larger circle.
A Cajun Craze linen thread bow and three Pretty Peacock rhinestones are perfect embellishments, don’t you think?

Brody Update
The meds, which we were hoping would shrink Brody’s latest tumors, were proving to be ineffective. In his latest check-up this past Friday, it was decided to go ahead and attempt surgery on his foot. His vets, all of whom have treated him since he was a young puppy, were of the same opinion. They felt the risks of leaving an aggressive tumor, which would affect both the quality and length of life significantly, outweighed the risks of putting him under anesthesia at his age. His surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.

Your card: I love the mixture of DSPs and how you tied the woodgrain background to the front by adding it as your sentiment layer. Wonderful card.

Beautiful card Ann. Special thoughts for you and Kim as Brody undertakes this surgery.
Hugs and prayers for Brody and everyone involved with his care. Healing prayers and lots of hugs heading your way.
Pretty card by the way.
Great card, fantastic color scheme. I’ll be praying for successful surgery for Brody. This is such a difficult situation for you and I pray you will have the peace that passes all understanding. What a sweet picture of him…just like a little child, comfortable in the arms of one who loves him. God bless him and your family.
Beautiful card with lush colors and certainly distinguished. Each element is carefully placed for a wonderful visual effect. Oh my goodness, Ann we are dog lovers down here in Texas. If I could be there personally I would just as another person to share what pets mean to a family. Prayers for your strength and peace and for all who will be caring for Brody!
Beautiful card! Love the colors. Best wishes and lots of thoughts and prayers with Brody and you and your family on Wednesday. Sending BIG HUGS! ?❤️
