Happy Thursday!! It's time for a new Thankful Thursday challenge at DL.ART!! The theme for this week is Anything Goes!! If you use the code l01210, Diana will give you 10% off your purchase at DL.ART.

For my cards, I used papers from Lemoncraft's Tiny Miracles stack.

An X-Cut Doily die was cut with heavyweight cardstock and then layered with a Memory Box Stitched Circle die.

The next layer, popped up with foam tape for dimension, is a Penny Black Doily Trio, layered with another Memory Box Stitched Circle die. The sentiment is from My Creative Time. This gorgeous ribbon is my favorite - Pink Champagne from the Vintage Vineyard Bundle.

Tucked beneath the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are Memory Box Chloe Stems and Sue Wilson Mosaic Leaves dies. The sentiment is from My Craft Spot (no longer in business). The stunning ribbon is Rose from the Vintage Vineyard Bundle.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! I'm so excited to be a guest designer today for Try It One Tuesday!! The theme for the challenge is "Anything But Square". You can make any project for this challenge, as long as it isn't square.

I have a dear friend who is going through a difficult time and I wanted to let her know I was thinking of her. The papers are from Authentique. I started with a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circle, and then a Grand Circle for the base of the cards.

A TCW Art Is Stencil was used with texture paste. A Prima Persian Lace stencil was cut in half and applied on the the top and bottom for the base of the flowers.

Tucked under the Wild Orchid Craft flowers are Sue Wilson Mosaic Leaves and Memory Box Chloe Stems, along with cheesecloth and baby's breath. The beautiful crinkle ribbon is from DL.ART.

The butterfly is a Fiskars punch. The sentiments were embossed with gold embossing powder on a vellum banner, cut with a Joy Crafts Banner die.

DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #196 - Winter

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! I seemed to have picked up a touch of food poisoning, so I may not be around to visit you for a couple of days :( It's time for a new Thankful Thursday Challenge at DL.ART and the theme this week is Winter. You could always substitute a Thank You card. If you use the code l01210, Diana will give you 10% off your order at DL.ART.

Since I'm not feeling the greatest, I'm going to be very brief with the ingredients of this card. I used a Sue Wilson Tag to cut the scene from Maja Designs papers. Blue and White Twine from the DL.ART Shop was added. The trees are Tim Holtz Tree Line and the snowflakes are Precious Marieke Snowflake Border. A Tim Holtz embossing folder was used for the background.

Tucked under the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers is a bow made from Pure Love ribbon from The Valentine Bundle.

 Thanks so much for stopping by!! I'll be by to visit when I feel better. Have a great day :)
