I created this background by using a babywipe to wipe colour off an Oxide background through this (favourite) stencil... it's also in one of my favourite colour themes - not those below, but those of the card.
I really wanted to join the current challenge at Day of the Month Card Club, which is 'Looking for Circles Day'. I noticed this stamp set when rooting through my collection for something else and thought they'd be perfect. Since November is my month of thankfulness, I thought these words would fit perfectly. I clear embossed them and simply added bits of white gel pen for contrast.
and I'm joining

Thanks for calling in
