      Many Thanks


      This week at Creative Knockouts is a Thankful Challenge.  We have many reasons to say thanks and challenge is to say thank you with a card.  


      My card is made with a digi from Doodle Pantry called Agapanthus Flower and the sentiment is part of the image package.  I think the flowers are very pretty. To complete my card I used layers of coordinating card stock, some pearls and Goosebumps to give the card some texture and shimmer.  


      Hope you will join us this week and have a creative day.

        If Nothing Every Changes


        Creative KnockOut Challenges is having a Whimsical with Wings challenge and Sweet 'n Sassy is the sponsor.  I have used our sponsor's image Everyday Miracles.   I printed their butterflies on water colour paper that I had added some colour to. For the background I used a embossing folder by Darcie and added the sentiment.    I added some Diamond Glaze to the spine of the butterfly, added a hope charm, ribbon and sprayed the card with shimmer by GooseBumps.
