Thankful thoughts xxx

Hello Again,

A not for any reason post from me today.  Betty from Simply B Stamps facebook group offered a free digi stamp for Thanks Giving and challenged everyone in the group to make a card using the digi...the only condition was that there had to be pleats in her dress!

Eeeek!  I haven't done the clothing class yet with Kit and Clowder under Alyce's expert guidance but in my new spirit of 'just go for it' here is my interpretation...



I am pleased with the outcome so I really hope you like it xxx

Here's what I used to make it:
Image: Thankful freebie from Simply B Stamps (you must register to access the store) via her facebook group that can be joined HERE and if you haven't had a peek, join!  Lots of fun and great makes.  I have coloured her with my Graph'it Marker pens
Background: Just for Men Collection from Michele R Designs (gorgeous papers and so versitile).  Insert was stamped to match (masking the centre so there is room to write)
Embellies: Dutch Doobadoo crown from That Craft Place; Pearl string from Hobby House and the rest is from my stash.
Added Glamour Dust glitter adds a touch of sparkle to the butterflies and the hand rolled paper scrolls, oh and a bit on the edge too!

Here's the close ups:




Thank you so much for visiting and please leave a comment before you go as I do really appreciate your comments :D  Please also click to follow me so I can grow my numbers xxx

Happy Crafting :D
