TODAY, we are giving thanks and I wanted to give thanks for the farmers. 

What would we do without farmers?  These are the hard working people and families that allow us to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and milk, and to pick PUMPKINS in the Fall.

We visit farms all the time.  We can walk the grounds, and harvest some of the foods that grow there.

GIVE THANKS FOR FARMS

Here is how I added color to my pumpkins, this is VERY quick and uses Ranger's Cut n' Dry foam for the application.  I ink the pumpkins before I cut them out to save myself time and agony - and it also saves me from coloring them which would use a lot of marker ink.

I applied some green and orange water-based inks to the Core'dinations cardstock and then splatted water onto it.  I was surprised to find that the ink was TOTALLY displaced on this type of cardstock. So there are white spots where there used to be ink.  SURPRISE!

I stamps the flourish 2 times, one right side up, then one upside down, so that they meet in the middle.  I used my trusty Stickles to add bling to the leaves.

Here is a side view of my pumpkins, all overlapping and looking so very ORANGE.

I used the CUTE stamp set "Simple Blessings" by UNITY for this layout:

REMINDER:
