Grateful

Hi and thanks for popping by!  I'm here with a card for the latest Fusion Challenge.  We've gone with a 'thankful' theme, which is appropriate for any season and any time of the year.

I'm one of those DT members who likes to make their cards well in advance of a challenge going live.  Well, not this time!  As I write this, I just finished making my card about 15 minutes ago and the challenge goes live in 4 hours.  Talk about skin of the teeth!

Luckily, I pretty much had the card planned out in my head so it didn't take too long to put together - although I did change my mind several times.

The die-cuts take center-stage on this card.  Copper foil sentiment, slate, black and white foliage and a black strip to ground everything.  To add a bit of interest to the Fog panel, I added some loosely applied embossing paste over the Geometric Grid stencil, which is probably my favorite stencil as I reach for it nearly every time!

Thanks for visiting!  The design team have some gorgeous cards so please head on over and check them out.

I'm entering this card into a few of the challenges out at the moment:  Inkspirational have a cue word of Trend.  To me metallics are on trend as are scripty sentiments.  Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies challenge - well that's pretty obvious 😄 and I was inspired by the leaves and thanks theme on Anita's Muse card.

Cardstock:  White, Fog, Slate, Black, Copper foil

Dies:  Grateful for You, Stitched Rectangle Stax (MFT), Chloe Stem (Memory Box), Layering Leaves (Concord & 9th)

Karren
