Perfect Sentiments Challenge: Thank You!

It's time for another fun challenge from The Perfect Sentiment!

This week the challenge is to make a card with a "Thank You" sentiment.

The twist is to use this sketch for inspiration:

I love this layout and really enjoyed using it for my card.

Here is what I came up with:

As you can see, I stuck really close to the sketch's layout. It is such a great design that I really didn't want to change it at all.

I colored my bird using Stampin' Up!'s Watercolor Wonder crayons and a wet paintbrush.

I used crocheted lace for my side border.

To give a little more color and a "shadow" effect, I cut my label twice and layered them- the vanilla over the red- and stamped my words in black ink.

I chose these wonderful Stampin' Up! vintage flower adornments in the blue and red which match the papers really well. I love how they look on here!

And there you have it.

You have until Tuesday at 10:00PM EST to link up your card over at The Perfect Sentiment.

This week our sponsor is Pattie's Creations Digital Stamps and the prize will be one free digital stamp image.

I hope this has helped inspire you to make your own thank you card to link up and share.
