Crafty Creations Blog Hop and 2 Week Challenge - Thank You

Welcome to the Crafty Creations Blog Hop and 2 week challenge.  You should be arriving here from Lindsay's Blog.  If this is your first stop you can start by going to Claire's Blog who is starting us off.  The two week challenge is:

A Card or Gift of Gratitude/Thanks

Here is what I ended up creating. I used an image from one of our sponsers - Digi Doodles.  Isn't this a great flowery image! So much fun to colour!!


The flowers were coloured in with Copic markers.  Then, I colours some bits of a second image, cut the bits out and adhered over top of the original image with dimensional tape.  You can see the details better in these photos:




The sentiment is from Damask Designs (Papertrey Ink). 

Now it is your turn!  That's right, just create your own card or gift of thanks/gratitude and enter it at Crafty Creations for your chance to win one of many sponsored prizes!  Remember you have 2 whole weeks to work on something - lots of time to put those great stamping related Christmas presents to good use!!


Now you are off to Kathleen's blog to see what she has created for the blog hop.  Remember, if you get lost you can always head back to Crafty Creations.

Thanks for dropping by and happy hopping!!

Bee-utiful! Your coloring is wonderful. The cutting out the pieces to attach giving it a 3D look makes it even more special. Not sure if I'm late for the blog hop & will be entering a thank you card tomorrow 12/27.

Donelda, beautiful card!The technique of overlapping flowers here in Brazil is being spread as French art, of course, with several overlapping layers of a same punch, is magic!
Happy new year and is full of peace, love and prosperity!
Fondly, Mila Cris Creations.
