I immediately thought about my Wire Works from Stampin Up; I knew I still had some. I looked in my Thanksgiving box and found this panel left over from another project. If memory serves me right, I had applied ink to the stamps, spritzed with water and then stamped on watercolor paper. After it was dry, I partially stamped the background at the bottom and the sentiment.
Today, I ripped the bottom edged, stamped splatters, sponged and attached a mulberry paper strip at the bottom. After I used the Subtles EF on the card base, I attached the panel at the top and set two eyelets. I ran a piece of wire works copper wire (purple color) through the eyelets, added an awesome bead I found in my stash, twisted the wire ends together, and used a bamboo stick to create some curls.
Thanks Lisa for the challenge & inspiration! Thanks all for looking!

This is wonderful, Diane. Grapevines definitely do grown on wires and your watercolored grapes are beautifully done and look very natural on this lovely Thanksgiving card.

That bead is just the perfect rich colours to go with your bunch of grapes, which is a beautifully carried out panel. I like the soft spritzed look, and the text, and torn edging.

I have a huge pile of wire from my years of buying SU stuff and totally need to drag it out and get it used. This is a brilliant way to use it. The water coloring on your card is gorgeous too. Thank you so much for playing along.
