So Thankful @ Yumi & Fumi.

Today starts a new challenge at Yumi and Fumi Handmade! The challenge for the next 2 weeks is:

SO THANKFUL!!

Create a Thank You card.  Don't forget that we now allow ANY stamped image!!! You HAVE to use a hand-colored image on your project...no "sentiment only" cards allowed. However, if you use a Y&FH image your name will be added a maximum of 1 extra time after the last name in Inlinkz. Remember also....only 1 entry per person.

I saw this fabulous Youtube video on making a pocket card by Indah and liked it so much I figured I would give it a shot. I had to do a bunch of them for my daughter's thank you cards for her birthday party.  It was so easy and cute to do. I used Yumi with a Messenger bag.  I did stamp her in Grey ink versus black to give it a different softer looker.  Colored with my Copics and did my own plaid work on the skirt. The paper is from my DCWV paper stack but which ones I am not sure. 

I will be entering this on into the following challenges:

Card Makin Mamas-Thankful Tidings

Daring Cardmakers-The Other Occassions and Reasons

I went pretty CAS this time and guess what...not a single stamp!! I have so many beautiful papers in my stash that I am just not using and though this was a great one.  

I poured tons of glitter glue on it. I hope you can see it since my photo skills were limited with our cloudy and raining skies here.
