So Thankful ...
{DT Project Tammy's Scrapin Corner: Challenge #30}

This week our theme for Challenge #30 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner  is a Design a Card with Fall (Autumn) Colours.  I used an Eureka digi image called Mallard Duck.  You can find it here.   This beautiful digi scene reminds me of my childhood years growing up on a farm in the Eastern Province, South Africa.  We had loads of wild ducks and geese on the farm frequenting the dams and they became so tame by eating out of my hand.  I must say I was quite weary of the geese, as they often came from behind and pinched me on my legs/bum with their beaks. 

Once again I used my favourite centre step card technique and coloured the scene with H2O's and dry chalks.  The buttons were from my stash.  I used a CM hexagonal punch for the embellishments.  The sentiment is from Hannelie over at Desert Diva






I sure do hope that you will play along with us over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner and link up your card with fall colours to our Challenge #30, here.  And remember if you would like to be a Guest Designer, please put GD behind your name when you enter your project.
