Our challenge at Flutterby Wednesday is “Thankful” and since Flutterby Wednesday just happens to be on Veterans Day, I decided to make a thank you card for all the Veterans out there.
I love this beautiful stamp from Tim Holtz. I chose the beautiful Indian Summer DP from Basic Grey and then watercolored the image in colors to match. I added the buttons from the same line and then added the ribbon. Bada-bing, done! The sentiment is Autum Leaves.
If you would like to play along with the Flutter By Wednesday challenge, you can go check out all of the other lovely DT blogs by clicking on their links on the right sidebar and then going to Danni’s Dreams to link up your card. Danni has also mentioned that since the holidays are right around the corner, angels "flutter by" too so feel free to add angels to your creations for the holidays.

There’s a challenge at Just Buggin’ today but since I only found out that I was on the DT yesterday, I didn’t have time to participate. For those out there that there with Cricuts, the challenge this week is Animal die cuts! Use an animal die cut on your project (If you don't have an animal die cut shape, make one out of another shape! Think google eyes!!)
That’s it for now! See ya later!!!
Blessings,
Christine

Sometimes it is so hard to get a good picture. I just did a card with gold embossing and I couldn't get a good picture no matter what I did. The glare was awful!
Your card is a wonderful tribute for our veterans. I love that image! You did a wonderful job with this!
This is stunning Christine!! I just love your colors and coloring!! So elegant and beautiful!!! Embossing is so hard to photograph as is any sparkle.
