The Twisted Sisters Challenge this week is to make a Thanksgiving card and include swirls. When I was searching for inspiration, I found this beauty, Delicate is the Diamond, by Vicki, our Queen for the Day this week. Vicki, since Friday PM I have looked at every page of your gallery, and I was so impressed to see so many different styles, and also how you encourage others by regularly participating in the challenges to honor others. Bless your heart! Hope your week as Queen is filled with good things! Hugs....
The sentiment I used is stamped in Choc Chip over a weave-patterned DP and comes from ODBD's Mini Tags 2 Set. It is framed using Spellbinder's Fancy Tags 3. I over-stamped the small leaves from my Kitty Kit from Rubbernecker. The background is a texture plate from Sizzix, and was distressed using Creamy Caramel. The leaves are also from Sizzix.
I loved doing this TSC, because it made me focus on what I am thankful for, and see the blessings God has given.
Thanks for looking!

This is just plain pretty, pretty, pretty!! I love how you work those Kittie Kit leaves and though you often use them in conjunction with something else, they really do stand beautifully alone as well. Of course all your gorgeous patterns and colors in the backdrop just add more and more beauty to this warm design. Hugs sister!

Beautiful - love the colours and the lattice background. I love your layered tag/swirls sentiment focal point. Beautiful way to have the focus on "Blessing" - making me stop and think about all my blessing from God.
