Feline Playful Gratitude Blog Hop

                     ********  Happy Day of Gratitude to you!!!*********

   I recently joined the Feline Playful group to- give a little- since I have enjoyed playing along with challenges for so long.  The ladies decided to have a HUGE party for the Day of Gratitude.  So.......

So what are you waiting for? Let's get this party started!!!

   I used a digital image and digital papers from McMahon Five Designs- one of our Sponsors for the party, and used a Technique Junkies Technique- another {Big} sponsor for this party! 

 I colored the image with Ranger Distress ink Tattered Rose and Aged Paper and SU..............  I spritzed over the image with Glimmer Mist.  The background Digi Papers from McMahon Five Designs were printed on Cryogen White text weight {sparkly} papers.  I used the sketch challenge from Midnight Madness. I added some dyed seam binding and fgathered it for interest.  I used Technique Junkies Out of the Box and Wisped Edges for my card.
Here is a close-up of the shimmer:

   Anyone that Knows me, Knows that I love pink and Technique JunKies!!!
