DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY CHALLENGEW #31 : "With Gratitude"

Here we are back again with the new challenge. For those of you in the US, and for those of you who aren't, in other words, all of us need to say "thank you" so often.
And that is what our challenge is all about:

Create a papercraft project that expresses your gratitude. It can be for any occasion whatsoever, but it must have a sentiment expressing gratitude on the front.
If you enter a papercraft project using a non-Digistamps 4 Joy image, you will get one entry into the random draw.

BUT

If you use a Digistamps 4 Joy image on your entry, you triple your chances of winning .... you get THREE entries into the random draw! Now isn't that a bonus!?!

One random winner will be chosen (random.org) to win 3 images of choice from the store.

We will then have a DT's choice award. This award will go to the card / project that we vote to be our favourite (and must be a digistamps4joy image). This winner will receive a $6 gift voucher to spend in the store. We hope that there will be an entry (or two) using a Digistamps 4 Joy image, as there wasn't one in the previous challenge.

You do not need to use a Digistamps4Joy image to win, but we’d love it if you do!
We will choose 2 runners-up who we feel deserve a spot in the top 3.

Challenge Rules
You can use any image for the challenges. See above.
You have two weeks to enter the challenge.

The most important rule, however, is to have fun!

Here is my creation for your inspiration ...

It's that time of year in South Africa again where the school year is coming to an end, and the schoolkids will be buying their teachers some pretty cards.

The image was coloured using Copics and a white gel pen after being printed on white watercolour paper. I used a red cardstock as a mat and red stain ribbon and gold glitter stars as embellishments.
