Thankful Thoughts

Good morning and Happy New Year!  Did you sleep in this morning?  I am scheduled to work...lucky me!  LOL  Let's get to business, shall we?  It's time for a new sketch challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Our sketch was designed by Melissa and our sponsor for the week is Floppy Latte, who let me pick this gorgeous image called "Ribbon Flair".  When I saw the pretty, vintage silhouettes, I knew I wanted to use one...the hard part was picking which one!   I love the vintage flair...thank you, Floppy Latte!

I resized and printed my image on DP; the sentiment is also stamped on on DP. I distressed the papers and added buttons, Swarovski crystals, and a felt flower for embellishing.  I wish you could see a close-up of the inside of the flower; I wadded up a scrap of black CS and glued it into the inside...it has some really nice texture.  I also added the swirl (from the right side of the diecut) to the felt leaf.
