a card for thanksgiving

Hi, everyone!
 It's already Tuesday, here! Today, I posted a card which was finished about a week ago, because I was very busy last week, and couldn't do it.
 It looks like autumn season has begun around our region finally. But it was over 30C when I made the card. It's cool down at the moment - 22C at 2:05AM - . It's really comfortable! :) :) :)
I've been hearing about severe weathers or disaster hits here and there over the world by some TV news. Please take good care of yourself and your family members!

 Well, here is my thanksgiving card for the Hero Arts September challenge Round 2.

 Made this background to use three stamps, those were Misty Garden, Maple leaf from Season of Giving clear set and Circle Doily by Hero Arts. And then, decorated with layers of several papers, ribbons, clear circle and the stamped leaves.
* My Pin Oak leaf stamp is from © 2007 'More Real Leaves' set.
You can find it in the brand new poly clear set CL457 Real Leaves -probably, it looks like that the size is different from mine -, or the similar design in the digikit Foliage.

And this is a partial closeup photo.

 Wanted to take the crackle effects into the leaves, because I saw several beautiful works by other Flickr group members. So I used both crackle and glossy accents by Ranger for my leaves, already stamped with Distress Inks and put Perfect Pearls on each. The reason I used both glossy glues was the difference of the time for dry. I added Glossy Accents for the veins of a leaf soon after covered all with Crackle Accents. The powders of the Perfect Pearls float in the area which almost covered with Crackle Accents.
 But my autumnal card is almost the same as my last year's. I'm really ashamed of it.
