Let Us Be Grateful...

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I hope that you are having a great middle of your week!  My hubby has the day off today instead of his usual Friday, so we are going to hang out together and do some errands/fun things.  That should be nice!

I have a very clean and simple card to share with you today!  I love that the sentiment on this card can easily be used for friendship, but it also has a "give thanks" feel to it for this fall season.  I also picked colors that were appropriate for the season as well.  Here is what I created!
"Let us be Grateful..." supplies: 
Cardstock/Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Dot Spot & YOF: Morning Glories sets)
Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: violet, amber) & Tsukineko (Versafine: onyx black) 
Twine: Darice Inc.
Flowers: Recollections
Corner Rounder: Creative Memories

Instructions:  Make card from white cardstock, then round the bottom corners.  Stamp the three dotted circles to the front, then stamp the sentiment below them.  Tie a twine bow and adhere it to the middle.  Add three opposite colored flowers to each stamped circle to finish.

Well, I better get going for now!  I want to go and spend the day with my hubby!  Have a great one! ♥♥♥ 

Until later,
~Lea L.
