Welcome to our new FUSION Card Challenge~Grateful. With US Thanksgiving just days away, this photo is perfect - and although our Thanksgiving is long past, every. single. day, I feel grateful, thankful and blessed for the gifts of family and friends - especially in this warm crafting community - who grace my life. Heart melting....
Anyway, before I become even more teary-eyed, let's move on to my card. As you've likely deduced from my cards here and on IG, I have a 'thing' for Concord & 9th leaves. Yes, I certainly do! Soft grey background panel, ink dabbing here and there on the faux watercolour leaf to capture the colours from the wreath; the veined stamp in deep brown, sentiments in deep grey/rust, respectively. I'm kind of surprised the grey/browns worked as well as they did; hope you like the result...
