Grateful For...

My little one is sick this week (we both have the same thing) and so my card-making has slowed to a crawl. I really needed a pick-me-up and so decided to make a card for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge, an interesting mix of Ruby Red, Taken with Teal, and Basic Gray. These colors remind me of the current trend of non-traditional colors for Christmas, but as I am still behind on Thanksgiving cards, I thought I'd mix it up and use the color scheme to play catch up.
For this card, I inked up my Tres Chic** background stamp in Ruby Red and punched out three words that caught my eye: "Life," "Family," and "Love." Appropriate things to be grateful for, yes? With very little time or energy to spare, I kept it clean and simple, with a quick-embossed background and a rub-on to complete my modernly unexpected Thanksgiving card.
