I have so missed being able to particpate with this talented crew due to my many travels this summer. But as fall approaches, I am truly grateful for many things. Being able to join the hop today is a big one!
I was so happy to see this set carry over into the catalog since I hardly got to use it at all last year.
Since I just finished making a centerpiece for our dining room table I decided to use the Truly Grateful stamp set for a home decor project to go with it. Here is my framed art piece.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black ink on a Whisper White panel. The patterned paper panel is cut in half to reveal the sentiment. I applied masking under the sentiment, leaving only a narrow space. I sponged in Meadow Moss ink to create the line that you see.
Stamping is so versatile! I am always amazed at the variety of projects and styles you can create with just one stamp set.
Thanks so much for spending some time here with me and the talented stampers who bring you their very best every first and third week of the month.
Be yourself.
Find delight in your craft.
Make something beautiful!

I love your color choices on the acorn, and the little glazing from what looks like Crystal Effects on the it. Gorgeous addition to your centerpiece :)
BTW, we are "truly grateful" you can play again, too!

Cindy, I love that you did a 3D item. The little focal point cluster is brilliant!
