That's civilization for you! (And don't get me started on the history of corn dollies, now if you want gruesome there is some SERIOUSLY gruesome stuff going on there!)
Anyway, to much of the Northern Hemisphere, Autumn means Thanks in one way or another. So here is a very Autumnal thank you card.
I used an assortment of peg stamps from my old Rubberstamp Tapestry (now Card-Io) sets and a collection of inkpads in various autumn shades. After die cutting the oval for the sentiment I very faintly drew around it on the card then used that as a guide for the stamping, stamping the leaves with a sort of "organised randomness" that kept it natural looking and yet still CAS. Because we've had a very windy few days, I couldn't stop one or two of the smaller leaves blowing away towards on corner!
There are lots of Autumn and Thanks challenges around at the moment so I'm sharing this with

Gorgeous CAS card, Jane. Great stamping and I love how a few autumn leaves are floating away. I used to make corn dollies so I'll be off to find out about the gruesome history behind them! Visiting your blog today with my Crafty Calendar Challenge DT hat on. Thanks for joining in the challenge - good luck! xx

All those little leaf stamps fit so well together, Jane, and I love that a couple of them are drifting away. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to CAS.
