This week's TSC was to make a Thanksgiving card with something that swirls. I slammed this one together rather quickly as I am on the run today and tomorrow. All items are from my scrap pile except for the beautiful brown round with swirls frame from my friend Pat Smethers. Colored the image with markers. Punched the sentiment panel and stamped "Grateful" using Close to Coco. Added a dotted border with a brown Sharpie marker. Tied on some brown twine that I found in a bargin bin but I don't remember from where. Sponged some Distress Ink Old Photo on the sentiment to soften the starkness and then added some shadows to the letters using a beige marker.

Oh, sweet Tater_ this card is to die for. Those pears look so REAL and absolutely marvelous in that swirly frame - cool the way you used some more of the same swirls to accent your "Grateful" sentiment. Love how you used the browns and cocoa - they are such 'comfy' colors, the kind that warm the heart ( a lot like you!) Hugs!

What a swirly delight Tater! Fun basket colored so well. My parents make the best canned pears and pear relish! My Mom would adore this card.
