Hello, my friends! Gosh it seems like an age since I've written a post OR made a card! But we are home and that mountain of laundry is nearly done!
LeAnne's theme at The Paper Players #762 is a good one to get me back into my studio this morning...
I wonder if she knew I'd jump at the chance to make that
bottom right corner come to life?
You'll have to take my word that this card will indeed contain a message
of thanks into the inside! lol
- My 'plate' was created by cutting a circle and then debossing a rim using a smaller circle die and my rubber mat. Then set the table on woodgrain DSP.
- The 'napkin' is a simple piece of grey that I gave the look of linen using my trusty SU Subtle Texture folder.
- The sticks, branches, and leaves are from HoneyBee's Winter Greenery with a few 'berries' from my enamel dot stash.
- To finish it off I tied a little SU linen thread [thanks, LeAnne] and added a sentiment from PTI's Thankful for Fall set.
Thanks, LeAnne, for getting me 'back on the horse' so quickly and painlessly!

Thank you, Paper Players!
