Thankful

Ggood morning dear friends,
Well we are over the worst, now the weekend is in sight. I had a good day yesterday. Tidied up after a very busy few days  of crafting for DT assignments and card workshops, so I rewarded myself and made a card just for fun.

This is the first time I am entering this challenge, which is a fairly new one. I received a freebie digi from  Avadares Challenge blog for their challenge with the theme ...Thankfulness.   Sara Dawn is the artist of the digis and this is the card I created.

I coloured the image with a combination of distress inks,water colour pencils and Twinkling H-20's. Cut it out with a Nellie Snellen MFD.
I embossed the cardstock with the Swiss dots folder, and cut a decorative border with an X-cut die.
Ribbon, flowers, and some bling to finish off.
I used a peel-off for the sentiment.
On the challenge blog we are asked to mention what we are thankful for....
Apart from being thankful for good health, my family and my friends, I am truly thankful for this wonderful community of crafting friends who are always so helpful in sharing, helping and inspiring one with all their beautiful creations....My grateful thanks.
 
I am entering this in a few challenges:
Avadares challenge...Thankfulness
Lady Bug Crafts Ink TLT challenge...Flowers and embossing
Shopping Our Stash challenge #72...Tic,Tac,Toe.  I have used embossing,ribbon,sparkle
Tuesday Alchemy blogspot #35...Anything goes 
Simon Says Stamp Challenge ...Use dies or punches
 
I am done for now, enjoy the rest of the week and hope to see you soon.
Take care and have fun
Love, Ursula
