Feature Friday Challenge

Wow Friday already. This week at the character cafe the challenge is to  use Pink and Brown ,Crumbling or Tearing ,2 or more Buttons. I choose to use the image "no bones about it". And added the words to the inside.

     I made this card for a sister of mine. Thought she would enjoy it. I colored the image with copics and spica glitter pens. I choose to crumple and tear my paper. Added ribbon down the side in brown and tyed pink bows. Placing two pink buttons between the bows. I printed out two images and popped up the bones & hair bow to give them a more dimensional look. Sponged around the edges and layered on background paper and pop dotted up the image.

As always you are free to use any image. I usually choose to use a fairy knoll image. Though this week I choose to use a couple images from doodle pantry. They carry some really cute stuff. Laurie is has been very busy and is always coming up with new stuff.

I used the image "Happy Buzzer" & "Buzzer's Daisy". The words came with Buzzer. Right now Buzzer's daisy is a freebie over at doodle pantry. I used copics and spica glitter pens to color the images. I covered buzzers wings with crystal effectsand dusted with glitter. used black wire for the antania's. Pop dotted ot the eyes and the flower. used pop dots under buzzer also. The punch I used is from martha Stewart. I ran yellow ribbon through the slots and sponged around the words. Hope you have  enjoyed this project. Have a great day and happy crafting.

Added some glitter & pop dotted him up on the front of the card. Hope you have enjoyed this project and be sure to go over and check out the doodle pantry.

With Sadness

A friend of mine lost her 26 year old daughter today to cancer. She had a hard but short fight. When they found out a couple months ago that she had it it was already at stage 4. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. I pray that some day we will see a cure for all cancers and that we can end the suffering of so many. Have a great day and hug your healthy kids and family a little tighter and thank the Lord that they are healthy.
