THANKS

Good evening, thanks to all who have been sending well wishes to my dh, to read about that go here.
Also, for the continued support, kindness, visits, and sweet comments I am offering a blog give away, you can enter that here.
I created this card for several challenges, another new one that I discovered.  It is called The Shabby Tea Room and you can read all about the stitching/spring challenge at Debbie's blog.  I also used Karen's sketch, SSSC61 and the colors from Stacey's color challenge, ACT22.  I was also chosen one of the Top 5 from last weeks Curtain Call.  I have the award here to make it simple.  This is also my submission for today's CAS59, to be inspired by New York.  I have a list of places I want to visit, NY is on that list.  I was inspired by so much, the flowers in Central Park, the bright fun funky colors, and all of the design in my card.  NY and design go hand and hand.  I used Verve stamp sets Let It Shine and Celebration Of Thanks,
be sure to head over to the Verve Blog, the project parade has started and the theme is "Fun With Flowers".  I hope you can play along with us; what a fantastic theme, don't ya think?  I stamped the flowers, colored with copics, and popped the up. A simple thanks sentiment, scalloped border punch, and a row of stitches finishes my card.   Also, I wanted to share a Kreative blog award given to me by the sweet Rosie.  Please take time to visit her, she is super talented!  Enjoy.
