A Harvest of Gratitude

Happy Wednesday!  Fall has arrived and moved onto the cold temperatures of winter!  I was happy to see the new challenge at Frilly and Funkie called "A Harvest of Gratitude".   The talented Kathy provided us with this challenge and it had me thinking about the beautiful fall leaves, family and how thankful I am to gather around the table with all of our loved ones on Thanksgiving.

Kathy describes the challenge as:

"There is always something to be thankful for.  In this gratitude themed challenge, we are asking you to create a vintage or shabby chic project that portrays something that fills your heart with thanksgiving.  Use harvest colors and be sure to tell us how your project reflects your thankful heart."

I was thrilled as I love fall with the beautiful colors, leaves, family and thankful for all of these things.

I did want to show that I created the card without the acorns and decided to go out looking for some caps to paint in gold and add to the card.  I think it adds a nice layer of texture and fun!

  5. Suzz, this is so elegant! I love the way you've used gold on the tops of those acorns. You turned them into little gems! I'm on pins and needles for the tutorial for this one, as every detail is just scrumptious. Thank you for always inspiring me! xoxoxxo
