My MTTC #544 Autumn Colors Theme DT card on 4 October 2024

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: This posting showcases my newest contribution as manager/DT member of My Time To Craft challenge blog. A DT member has suggested the theme topic of Autumn Colors. Love it!

when: #544 starts Friday October 4, 2024 and lasts for 13 days.

what: "So Grateful In So Many Ways"



notes:

1. main focal panel is recycled mail from my husband's Medicare insurance provider!!! It's a Hallmark Business Connections product. I separated the front from the back and then tore the perimeter going in opposite directions on each side to vary the look

2. purple cardstock panel = Neenah

3. harvest gold color cardstock panel = Pen + Gear

4. gems and sunflowers (purchased at different times) = Crafter's Square

5. foam tape between the purple and harvest gold layers to give some dimension
