Thinking of You

     Our newest challenge at Tuesday Throwdown this week is sponsored by our very own Crafty Girl, whose marvelous images can be found here.  Our theme is a very simple one, "Thinking of You."  I used her Flower Trio image.

     I've been on a kraft kick lately and this time I combined it to get my favorite 'kraft and...' combo, kraft and pink.  I colored the image with my Promarkers and cut it out.  I embossed bright pink CS and added it to the bottom of the card front.  The ribbon is from my stash and I made the bow using that same ribbon plus a narrow, grosgrain so that it's a double layer bow.  The flower is a kraft paper embellie with a bead in the center.

Basset Hound Says Get Well

     New challenge starts this morning at Tuesday Throwdown and we're sponsored by our very own Crafty Girl.  Our theme is "Under the Weather" so we want to see Get Well cards.  I'm sure every one of you knows someone with a sniffle or dose of the flu so make a card to cheer them up.

     I chose to use Crafty Girl's "Bassett Hound" because that facial expression just screamed love and concern.  :-D

     He's colored with my ProMarkers and fussy cut, then adhered to the black CS with dimensional dots.  Unfortunately, that doesn't show very well in the photo but IRL, it's great.  All the cardstock and dp pieces are scraps from the bin that had to be used or tossed.  It was just waaay too full.

     I used as many as I could reasonably get on the card without it being too much.  For embellishment, I chose to keep it pretty simple and used only the ribbon with the paw prints and bones because it seemed to fit with the image.
