For the Way to Use It challenge to use brown. This card is particularly special because while I was inking the edges of the dp squares four-year-old Deven was helping me. He would closely watch the sponge rubbing the edges. Only when he was satisfied there was enough brown would he hand me the next square to be inked--a real natural at quality control.
This is a slight variation on the card I made a week or so ago; however, this card has a Thanksgiving theme and we used bronze (brown) fancy brads instead of ribbon.

Your card is so nice!! I love how you created the quilt look with the top note. What a sweet story about your son helping you with the sponging. Thanks for sharing!

So nice that you had someone watching over you. Who knows what might have happened! LOL The quilt look is great and done in brown makes it even better. Both of you did a good job.
