FQCB Thanksgiving Harvest Appreciation Cards Challenge Theme #1

 Greetings from Becca's Heart Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog! This time I'm sharing the first gratitude cards made for Theme #1 at an extra challenge/page option at FarmQuest Challenge Blog. 

At first I was planning the extra challenge page option to be just Thanksgiving Day cards but switched to appreciation cards with Thanksgiving/harvest topics and expressions of appreciation to be used in a combination themed challenge. 

Theme #1 requirements are:

*use the phrase 'give thanks'

AND

*use an image/photo/stamp with a mixture of fruits and vegetables

#1= I recycled/upcycled a hospital health and wellness booklet photo image and some packaging (the beige cardstock circle under the image) to pair up next to the fantastic mushroom print cardstock that frankly almost looks floral. [NBUS; this is the first sheet used from Into the Forest, which I think is by Craft Consortium; along with the 3 different enamel dots]

#2= For this card, ephemera from Simple Stories card kit "Love Grows Here" shows up in the doily/lace seed catalog cover image and the tiny circle of veggies for the mix image requirement. Freckled Fawn alpha lettering in a pale peachy-pink with gold provided just the right repeating of hues, too.
