Sangria Fall Leaves Thanksgiving Card

At Thanksgiving time we think of all the many blessings we have and thank God and our friends and family. I've become determined to give thanks more, even for the small things that might seem insignificant to some. There are times I'm amazed at the way some circumstance works out, knowing that God had a hand in it.  I find myself saying, "Wow! Thank you, Lord! I know you did this!" The inside of my card has a scripture from Word Art Wednesday from November 19, 2014. It's a lovely reminder that we should give thanks and praise to God.

I was inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch and the leaves and luscious fall colors in this photo from Craftin' Desert Divas:

This card uses the leaves from the CTMH  "Fallen Leaves" stamp set.
The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and gold embossing powder using "Thankful Heart."
