Card Design: Gerda Steiner Designs Progressive Challenge...June

It is time to post my creation for the Gerda Steiner Designs Progressive Challenge.  Her images are absolutely adorable!  Check out the image we got to work with this month...

Check out these pals.  While I've decided to make a thank you card, this image would be perfect for a friendship card and would also work for a birthday or thinking of you card too.  This image is currently available in the shop for purchase.  Click HERE or on the watermark above to go and check it out.

Here are my card and details, hopefully I haven't forgotten anything...

FRONT

Digital Image Details: 

• Best Friends Forever-Cat and Dog:  You can find this image in the store.  Details above.  This image was coloured in and grounded with Copic Markers. 

Embellishments:

• The half pearls are Crafts brand purchased at Dollarama.

INSIDE 

Digital Sentiment Details:

• This time around I've taken two of Paulette's fabulous sentiments and combined them to share my message of thanks. Click HERE to go to Paulette's blog and HERE to go to the store.  Oh and if you have a moment and haven't already, please go and leave some love on Paulette's blog.  I've been so far behind in my visits to Create with TLC, that I never knew until yesterday that Paulette had a serious fall and ended up having to have surgery and then go into a rehab facility afterwards.  My thoughts and prayers are with her and I'm sure all the well wishes she receives will help speed in her recovery.

OVERALL

Paper Products: 

• Card base and matting: Michael's Recollection's Cardstock, South Beach collection.
• Designer papers: This paper comes from my stash of partially used papers. I believe it is from the very first pad of paper I ever bought -- Ki Fancy Free paper pad.

Now just before I go, I wanted to tell you that Gerda Steiner Designs currently has the sweetest image in the store as a freebie.  See the occasional bonuses you get for actually reading all the way down to the bottom of some of my posts? ;)  Check it out...

Right now you can find this cutie pie in the Birthday section of the store.  Click HERE or on the watermark above to go and check out that section.  If you do go over and grab it be sure to leave Gerda some love by going HERE.

Well guys, one more post complete.  I've got one more to do for the final progressive challenge I am part of and then of course I've got tons of other work to complete.  I hope that you all have a great start to the weekend.  Hopefully, if I get my card completed tonight, I'll be back sometime tomorrow to show it to you.

Until that time,
