Happy Thanksgiving Banner and Card with Authentique Harvest Collection

Hello Friends! It's Kathy here with a little Thanksgiving home decor project to share with you today. It's my very favorite holiday, and I am excited to decorate, bake and prepare for a relaxing day spent with our great big noisy family. We eat, we play games, we go for a walk...and repeat! LOL

This long banner uses a lovely mix of Authentique Harvest papers and gorgeous Petaloo flowers in an array of fall colors.

I turned a chipboard frame into a fall wreath by painting it with copper crackle paste and espresso color wash spray. Then I layered these richly hued Mocha Sugared Blossoms, Cream and Green Hydrangea and beautifully textured Fall Mix Burlap leaves around the edges.

I have been picking up acorns on my walks, and they found a new home nestled into this arrangement with mini pumpkins and glitzy ribbon.

While I had all the pretty flowers and papers out on my workspace, I decided to make a Thanksgiving card, too.

I kept the design here very simple, so that the spotlight would be on the focal image. I didn't want anything to distract from its beauty.

The cream and brown of this stunning Darjeeling Anemone blossom worked perfectly with my plaid ribbon. I added two mini vintage velvet blossoms to finish out the flower cluster.

The inside of the card holds one of my signature pockets, stuffed with lots of goodies. A mini chocolate, a honey stick and a lovely herbal tea bag are accompanied by an image from the collection and a vintage style postcard. The gift card pocket has a custom notecard where you can write your personal Thankgiving greetings.
