Happy Tuesday!
We start a new challenge this week at Tuesday Throwdown and our theme is Thankful for you!  I love sending thank you cards and I think everyone loves to receive thank you cards, so now is the perfect chance to make a few to have on hand :)

This week our fabulous sponsor is Heart Song Designs, who has graciously given the design team several images to use on our creations.  Their images are so adorable!  I loved using them :)

I chose the Love Birds image and colored it in with my colored pencils.  Then I cut around the heart shaped rose vines, and scallop cut the frame.  The rest of the card came together pretty easily since all the papers are from the same pack :)
I know it's not entirely fall themed, but it still gets the message across of being thankful :)

I hope you will join us this week!  The prize will be 3 digi's from Heart Song and you don't want to miss out on your chance to win them!  Also, be sure to check out the rest of the DT's creations, they are fabulous!

I completely spaced on creating my post for yesterday's new Tuesday Throwdown challenge!!
It was on my mind all day, but I kept distracting myself by looking at other peoples blogs, and ideas, and Pinterest...and I completely forgot!

So this weeks Tuesday Throwdown challenge is Critters!

Our sponsor for this week is the lovely Heart Song Designs.  So many cute images there!  I have used the image Ana & Flower for my card.  Colored in with colored pencils.

I cut the flower and leave foliage out with my cricut and layered them together.  The center of the flower is a large black brad that I heated with my heat gun and then dipped into yellow embossing powder over, and over, and over.  You can still see a little of the black on the edges...I couldn't seem to get it to thicken no matter how many layers I added.  But it still turned out cool and is a great embellishment for the card.

The sentiment is a sweet one from Create with TLC that I trimmed into a tag and tucked behind the flower.
I hope you will join us this week at Tuesday Throwdown!  Such a fun challenge and a great prize!

This card is entered in the following challenges:
    Deconstructing Jen Sketch #55
    Friday Mashup #62-It's for the Birds
