Flower Thank You

Ok so I lied I'm having a hard time finding the time or the desire to create anything lately it's probably because the weather is warmer and I'd rather be outside than in the house. We'll see if I can change that soon. Well here is another quick card I used another one of my dollar stamps from imaginisce called flowers from the for peep sakes collection the paper I used is sugared from basic grey . The image is colored in with my water color pencils from ctmh and it has stickles and glossy accents on the flowers the sentiment is a rub-on from scrapworks.

My image is crooked I fixed it on the card but I'm too lazy to take another photo.

Every child is...

a unique and unrepeatable miracle I just love that sentiment.

Here is a card I made for a sketch challenge Sammi my sbs-15 sister gave our sbs-15 group to do. I really liked this sketch the only thing is I looked at it last night then I went to bed when I woke up, I put the card together without looking at it again and now as I'm posting this I realize I was suppose to put the sentiment in one of the strips but, instead I used ribbon I still like the way it turned out though. I don't think you can tell but I used just a bit of stardust stickles on the baby's hair bow. I thought it went well with the designer paper cuz it was already glittered.
If you want to do the challenge I'd love to see your card leave a link for me in the comment section to where I can view it. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Here is the sketch.
