Thanks Challenge #143

Today I have made a card for this weeks challenge over at SweetStamps.com and the theme is Thanks.

I started by cutting my patterned paper into triangle shapes and glues them onto a piece of cardstock. Then I stamped my flower image on top of everything and colored the image with some Wink of Stella pens. To get a little more dimension to the card I stamped the image one more time on some white paper and colored the flowers with Copic Markers and cut them out.


After I had adhered the cut out flowers to the card I stamped my sentiment and added all of the embellishments before I finally colored the edges and adhered the piece to my cardbase. I colored the edges with Black Soon Distress ink to get that "imperfect" look. Then I drew some faux stitching lines around the edge and the card was finished.


As usual you can join the fun. Make sure to visit the SweetStamps blog for more information and the complete Challenge Rules.
