Things With Wings

Good morning! It's Saturday which means that it's challenge day at 2 Sisters. It is also our very first challenge with the new design team! Be sure to check out their blogs and help us give them all a warm welcome and check out the gorgeous cards they created.  You can find a link to each blog in my sidebar or in the sidebar on the challenge blog.

This week we are being sponsored by..........


Our theme this week is......
THINGS WITH WINGS


The image I used is called  SYMPATHY.  I started with a sage green card base.  I added a piece of light blue card stock backed in white card stock.  Then I added a strip of striped card stock with a piece of white punched card stock added to the bottom.  I added that across the middle. 


I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils.  I cut it out in an oval and added it to sage green card stock.  Then again to white card stock. I cut around it using scallop scissors.  I added the image to the center of the card.  I layered four paper flowers on top of each other (white, gray, blue and pink) and added a white pearl to the center.  I stamped the sentiment "with sympathy" onto the bottom corner and added three white pearls to the upper corner.

I am entering my card into the following challenges....


Incy Wincy: Anything Goes

Top Tip Tuesday: Anything Goes

Pile It On: Anything Goes

Sentimental Sundays: Anything Goes
