Hey there!! Hope your week is going well... can't believe the week is already half over! Yikes... time sure flies!! Have a card for a couple of challenges. One is a "new to me" sketch challenge called
Tuesday Morning Sketches. The other challenge is one of my favorites: Flourishes
Timeless Tuesday. Sadly I haven't done a Timeless Tuesday challenge in a few weeks. I tried to make a card for last week's challenge to use the "double embossing" technique, but things didn't turn out so well for me and I gave up. So, I was determined to make something for this week's challenge.

The time is from the Flourishes set Sweet Violets and the sentiment from the Hero Arts set Find Joy. I had to tweek the sketch just a bit to make it work, but the basic layout is still there. The Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge comes with a "twist" this week in that they want you to make a card that "gives thanks". With Thanksgiving just around the corner I could pulled out another fall/thanksgiving type image, but I wanted to take a break from that and for that reason I chose to use the Sweet Violets set. I colored the image with the following Copic markers: V000, V04, V06, V09, Y21, YG93, YG95 & YG97. All papers and cardstock are PTI. The image was diecut with a Spellbinders large plain rectangle die. The challenge at
Timeless Tuesday is to add a flag and so I created the little pennant type flag for the sentiment.
