In the Spirit of Gratitude

Hello again!   We are so blessed and in the spirit of gratitude, we are going through drawers, closets, and the garage donating items to those who might need it.  Do you have a "hot spot" that needs to be de-cluttered?  You will find treasures for someone else to enjoy, I guarantee it!  So today's card is a TY card using an image from Mark's Finest Papers. The stamp set is all about good fortune so it is perfect for this time of year when we are all giving thanks.   It was fun to get out the embossing powder and heat gun to create a dramatic focal point to follow their sketch at the Oriental Challenge at MFP/SpeedyTV.

Beautiful background colors, I really like the characters fading into the background! The fish is a delightful image and the pink die cut circle is reminiscent of a seashell - nicely done kReN! Thanks for sharing your project in the “Any Sentiment” Challenge.
