This is my card for CC863. Barbara is our hostess and she chose so saffron, cherry cobbler, and terracotta tile for her color trio. Dessert option this week is cakes, pies, cookies etc.
Well, I just couldn't get an idea for the dessert option so I went with a Thanksgiving card. The wheat stalks in the milk can are used to make cakes, pies & cookies (lol)!!!
I used a new die (Christmas farmhouse Floral) from CottageCutz for the milk can, acorn and berry sprig. Cut the milk can in terracotta tile and sponged with the same ink. I cut the berry branch in soft suede and then added berries in terracotta tile. The wheat stalks are also a die from CottageCutz.
Added some mesh ribbon and enamel dots to complete the card. Hope you can play along this week. Barbara has chosen some fun colors.

Mary, this card reminds me of when I asked my mother if I could eat the one slice of leftover lemon meringue pie for breakfast. She said yes, if I drank a glass of milk with it! So you're right, wheat is the start of many desserts! You are very creative, both with your interpretation of the dessert option and of course with your very pretty Thanksgiving scene.

Mary your fall scene is lovely! The milk can and wheat remind me of Kansas, 'Home Sweet Home'. You did a wonderful job with Barbara's color challenge! TFS

Very lovely Thanksgiving card! You could say that the milk from the can was poured out into and ice cream make and is currently in the process of making ice cream for dessert! LOL!
