Thank You Card

It's a Thank You card for me today, and this one is going to the lovely ladies at the Quick Cards magazine. I wanted to thank them for choosing me as one of their 10 very lucky winners in the Create an Easter Card Competition last March.

I hope they'll like it !!!



The cute teddy image is a Whimsie Doodles freebie, and I coloured it with my promarkers. It's the first time I'm using it and my second attempt in colouring it, 'cos I didn't like the first one, but this one came out quite ok I think after I used my blender pen on the strawberry! I cut round the image and popped it up with foam on the white round card, and again popped up the white card on the red one, for more dimension.

This is the lovely sketch which I followed..



and these are the challenges for this card.

1 - I ♥ ProMarkers Challenge No 16 - THE SKETCH

Thank you so much for looking, and now here are some photos which I took over the weekend at the Marsa village feast. In Summer, it's typical here in Malta for each town/village to hold it's week-long village feast to celebrate the parish patron saint.

This is the church from the outside, all lit up.


And now here it is from the inside all dressed up with luxurious red damask.


The ceiling of the church..


The brass band playing outside the church.


The streets all decorated with banners and lights by volunteers and the locals enjoying themselves to the accompaniment of march band music.


A close-up of one of the many hand-painted banners.


And this is the statue of the patron saint being carried on shoulders around the village streets in a procession.


And this is ME :) :) :)


Hope you enjoyed these...

Thanks for looking.
Hugs
