THANK YOU. Celebrate the Occasion Challenge.

Hello and good afternoon to you all. My card I have to show you is for Challenge #48 over at www.celebratetheoccasion.blogspot.com  The title of their challenge is to MAKE A THANK YOU CARD (and you must use a punch)
I have used an ordinary square card for this and covered the front in light blue. My friend Sue (thank you so very much Sue) sent me two packages in the post this morning, full of lovely embossed panels of card, and I have used one on this which is white and I think called DIVINE SWIRLS. Once in position I added a silver chainlink border to highlight and add definition too. I then added a panel of light blue and white patterned glitter card, which I punched down each edge with the Martha Stewart DOILY LACE border punch.
My stamped image is called EMMA SWING from Lili of the Valley. I coloured her with Promarkers the mounted it onto light blue card and again added the silver border. It was adhered on sticky pads to make 3D.
I completed the look by added very small dark blue gemstones on some of the embossed swirls, and a sentiment tag which says THANKS, to which I added a pale blue satin bow.
Thank you very much for coming to visit, and I would love for you to come back again. Happy crafting.
Love Sandra xxx
