The Mixed Media Card Challenge #27 {Harvest Basket}
Welcome to a brand new challenge here at The Mixed Media Card Challenge! For our challenge this month, the theme is HARVEST BASKET, and optional element: FRUIT. Work with however you interpret the theme: feature a basket in your card, use colors reminiscent of autumn/fall, include things that you would put in your own basket, and so on. We hope you'll have a go at creating a mixed media card that follows the theme with or without fruit. The team can't wait to see what beauties you'll be linking up!
