The Card Concept #211 Thankful Blessings (Nov '24)

 Hello there Crafty Friends! It's time for another challenge at The Card concept.  The theme this month is

'THANKFUL BLESSINGS'.

I was inspired by the metallics and the Fall leaves in the photo to make this CAS card. 

I made a second card and fussy cut the leaves, layering them on an embossed background.

Hotfoil Plates are from Spellbinders and the images was water-coloured with Karin Markers.

Remember, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration. Will it be the colours, the overall theme, the texture, the actual items and/or something else that will inspire your card? 

I hope you'll visit The Card Concept Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team has created and will be inspired to play along in the challenge with us. 

Choose a design style (or combine styles), create a card, and in your blog post, let us know what inspired you from the photo, what style and/or styles you chose and don't forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge.

I'm sharing my second card at the following challenges:-

 Hi there Crafty Friends! Just poppingb in to share a Holiday card, inspired by Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge.
