I changed stamps, occasion, and size. I added a bow and covered more area of the card front.
Like Francie did, I applied ink to the stamps, spritzed lightly with water and stamped on watercolor paper. After it all dried, the images were outlined with markers. Then using an aqua painter brush, I drew out the color onto the background. After it dried, the Script background was stamped onto the upper and lower areas, leaving an area for the HT sentiment. I used a pre-tied bow from my stash and heated with it my embossing heat gun to crinkle and shrink it.
Thank you, Francie for sharing your artwork and inspiring my card. Thank you for looking!

Oh Diane, this is just gorgeous! You really did Francie's wonderful inspiration piece true justice! I love that you used grapes for this gorgeous Thanksgiving card. I love nontraditional things a lot and even though this is not hugely nontraditional - it is unexpected (sort of) and gorgeous! This is going right into my favs for future inspiration! ~Karen.
