Belli Challenge #157 - Thankful/Gratitude

Good morning everyone and Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating tomorrow.

This is the first of 2 posts for me today....I've been busy!

We have a new challenge starting at the Belli Challenge 

and this time the theme Darsie has chosen is

Thankful/Grateful

I've coloured a digi from ADFD called Holding a Flower.

I must confess...I've had her for a few months but this is the first time she's been coloured.

I hope you like the result.

I added a raffia ribbon and topped it with a black stitched ribbon from Michaels.

I pulled out my Spellbinders Beaded Circles, cut and dry embossed them, then added a bit of Versamark to the beads.   The button is from an old BG set tied with some very old Irish linen thread from my dear Mom's sewing box.  She was a great crafter and loved to sew.   I have not inherited that gene....it's all I can do to sew a straight line on my cards.  The sentiment was added in word.  I've used Glamour Dust on her wings and she has been coloured with Copics.

Here is a closeup of this cutie.

I expect to enter the following challenges:
My Sheri Crafts Challenge #98 - Give Thanks
Di's Digi Designs - Show us those Fall Colours
ADFD Challenge #57 -  Autumn colors

CAS one of my favourite styles

Good day everyone,

Hope you're having a good week so far.  It's cool and crisp with bright sunny skies in my little corner of the world. I hope the sun shines for you today too.

My daughter is in NYC and she was so excited about the trip. She lived there at one time furthering her dance training so it's a very special place for her.   With all the devastation recently I was anxious but her travel arrangements went smoothly.  She was meeting a friend for lunch, armed with a very long shopping list , so like her mother, except none of her purchases will include craft supplies :)   Anyway, enough of my chatter....

Today's card is for the new challenge that begins today at the

 Belli Challenge and the theme is Harvest/fruit

I love this Mo Manning digi.  It's called Winter Delivery and is really meant to be for Christmas because he is walking thru snow but I turned the snow into puddles and thought he would be perfect for autumn as the squirrels are busy this time of year harvesting nuts.

 I've kept my card CAS.  I find this style a nice break from my usual embelli laden creations. 

The Belli Challenge encourages you to use your old or forgotten items.  I've used SB double ended tags, gold brads and scraps of kraft and SU old olive paper.  The sentiments inside and out are from a very old Cornish Heritage Farms stamp set called Mona Lisa Moments. 

Copics:

Hat: YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91

Fur: E47, E44, E43, E40

Leaves: E09, E07, Y27

YR23, Y26

I will enter the following challenges:
Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #159 - anything Goes
Creative Stamp Friends Challenge #63 - Clean and Simple
The Kraft Journal Make it Monday - Harvest (matted with Kraft Paper)
Paper Playtime Ch#88 - Autumn Colours
Tammy's Scrapin Corner #35 - Anything Fall
The Pink Elephant #173 - Favorite Coloring Medium - Copics
Challenges 4 Everybody Challenge #6 - Anything Goes
The Crafty Pad Challenge #195 - Anything Goes
Raise the Bar Challenge #118 - Anything Goes
Clearly Inspired Challenge #63 - Critters

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit and we'd love it if you could hop on over to the challenge and see what lovely cards my team mates have created.
Hugs,
Pat K.xx
