For Someone Special



Hello, crafty friends! I hope you're enjoying this special time of year. :-)

Today I have a card to share with you for this week's Tuesday Throwdown challenge. Our challenge to you is to make something for someone special. Perfect for this time of year, huh? I made a card, using a wonderful digi from this week's sponsor, MyGrafico. The image is from a beautiful set called "Nature's Christmas." I chose to use this digi to make a card for my mom. One of the things we have in common is a love of nature, so I knew this digi would be perfect for her card. For the layout, I used this week's sketch from Mojo Monday. They always have wonderful sketches that are so fun to play with! I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils, and added a greeting from the retired "Primitive Christmas" set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.


I hope you'll stop by and join us for this week's challenge. It's the last one for this year, as we'll be taking a break for the holidays after this week. Can't wait to see what you make!

This is gorgeous, I love cardinals always stop and watch them, while I walk. Your coloring is amazing with the highlighting.

Deedee, this card is fantastic! Love your coloring and the papers you chose are gorgeous! I love the cardinals in this digi set and what everyone did with them. Did you have a chance to see my card last Saturday using your Clear Dollar Stamps digi Christmas set? I love how that came out!
