IO DT Challenge- Fall Colors

Time for another Impression Obsession challenge, and this time the theme is.....fall colors! At first I thought I would make a card with fall colors, but not necessarily a fall theme. However, a while back, one of the other DT members used this pear to make a Christmas card. I told her that I immediately thought of fall when I saw the pear rather than Christmas. So, I thought the color challenge was a perfect time to use my pear. In the end, I really tried to color my pear to look like a brown bosc pear.

To make the card, I stamped the pear onto cream paper using brown Memento ink. I then colored the pear and flowers with Copic markers and added some yellow jewels to the centers of the flowers. I also added a saying that I think makes a great Thanksgiving saying. I have tons of sayings that say "happy Thanksgiving" or mention "bounty" or "blessings." I thought this phrase was a nice take-off of more tradiional Thanksgiving quotes. To finish the card, I added some decorative Frances Meyer paper.
