There is a new challenge at Jellypark Friends this fortnight. Giving Thanks/Happy Thanksgiving. I have chosen to work with the new darling scarecrow image to create a birthday card for my son. Yup...I said a birthday "thank you" card...you did read that right! Here is the card I created:
I used red card stock to place behind the image. The scarecrow was colored using both Copic and Promarkers.I then popped it up on a piece of tan card stock and ran some butchers twine around the whole thing. I adhered it down to the card front then, and added a piece of washi tape. Some faux stitching around the image came next.The sentiment is from Doodle Pantry.I added three black buttons along the top left side of the card to give it some balance. Now the reason for the thankful card? I am thankful every day for my son as he was a gift from God. I had had numerous miscarriages , gone to a specialist, found out the problem, prayed a lot and then God saw that I needed a son. He gave me such a gift when He gave me Thomas! Here is my son today...
I thank my Lord every day for my son!
