Seize the Heroes #2

I am playing along with Seize the Heroes at Seize the Birthday. This is my second card and it has been lovingly made as my husband was a firefighter for many years, it was a job he loved.  I found a super cute firefighter at Dearie Dolls Digis, they no longer make new digital images but you can go and look and still download them free.  Here is my card.

I must admit this was pretty easy, after I coloured the image (due to a miss with the red marker) I had to fussy cut him out, The background I had made early March but abandoned it for a different one, so when I saw it in my "parts box" I thought wow this is perfect!!. I then layered it on a red base and die cut two red sentiments and a white shadow. 

Love this Thanks die and thought it deserved a "selfie"

Happy Little Stampers ~~ Anything Goes with Dies

I am so happy for this challenge as I have been struggling to be motivated just to sit at the desk and work on something, this has gotten my mojo working as I still have more on the desk. 

Thanks for visiting today "again" and don't forget to say Thanks to all the front line workers. 

Seize the Heroes!!!

There is an extra challenge at Seize the Birthday blog and it's called Seize the Heroes, make a card for one or more (up to 3) for the challenge to say Thanks to our frontline workers. The first card I made is to honour my daughter's profession, Cleaning!! Along with their regular cleaning of buildings they were asked to disinfect a retirement building.

The digital image is from Lacy Sunshine, I love these images and it's hard to find something pertaining to cleaning, I'm glad I had this one in my stash. I followed the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 There are two sketches to choose from. Thanks was cut three times from navy cardstock and glued together for elevation. After playing around with many many many pieces of cardstock to match the turquoise paper I had to go with navy and I love it.  "note to self AGAIN...pick paper first)

Couldn't resist a close up, look at the "dust bunnies"
