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!

You sure didn't get rusty while you were away, Michele. You jumped right back in with your preferred color palette, embossing details and a fun pop of color. Love it!!!
Well, that's just gorgeous, Michele! Way to kick off your return to creating after a small hiatus. Love the texture of the embossed foliage holder and the touch of bright color with the enamel dots.
