Oh, happy Saturday everyone! Time for inspiration. Thank you, Brenda for kicking it off today with the website Flags on a Stick. It didn't take long for me to settle on this Grateful Flag. I like the pumpkins, leaves, branches, and of course, the word. And I wanted to turn a negative into something positive!
I've been saving this negative diecut from a larger Brusho panel I created last year. It was too vivid to throw away. So I challenged myself to turn it into a card! I had to cut the word again with scraps to get the bobbly bits that define the r,a,e,f,l. T~tiny bobbly bits!
The collage of autumn things at the bottom left hides a funky transition. I used a gold cloth leave, a bit of satin leaves, velvet brown petals, a brass hand and of course a pumpkin, colored with Gelatos and sprinkled with micro mini beads! The trim across the top is not black with white scribbles...it is a beautiful dark mallard green velvet that is pleated. I still have no idea why my iPhone photographs it that way.
Thanks for stopping by today. I am grateful for the relationships here in SCS. Even though we all live in a virtual box 2, it's always nice to come home...Happy weekend

on my screen it is a dark hunter type green Susan, ( it's easier to see that on the bottom edge of it) so, I am guessing its a lighting thing? at any rate, I just LOVE the brusho background those colors are so gorgeous together.

What awesome textures on this exquisite autumn creation, Susan!! I love the gold embossed detail and microbeads on your pumpkin. I have a whole draw full of these and seldom remember to pull them out!! They look fabulous here!
