I was talking with my mum the other day and she reminded me of the need to send cards of encouragment and prayer to those struggling with various things as a way to cross the distance of miles seeing as how we do live far away from some family and friends ... so, this is one of the cards I made thinking of someone :)
I paired a fav sketch challenge (2 Sketches 4 You) along with the Curtain Call colour challenge (a challenge I always save and somehow never get to ...). I've really been in a watercolouring mood lately, dunno what's up with that but it seems like every card I make has been with watercolour paper - I'm literally going through it like water ... :) I didn't use a circle for the centre part but instead used some neglected Nestabilities dies -- the Labels! Fun shape - kind of reminds me of the Curly Label punch, only bigger :) The background was stamped with that damask image from Great Friends and then I dry embossed the panel.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and sharing your thoughts! I appreciate all of your visitis :)

Hi Renee, Lovely card as always. Been wanting to ask you for some time about the ruffling of the ribbons which I see on your cards. Do you mind sharing how you do this? Is it with a needle and thread (in which case I'll struggle). Or do you use adhesive - have tried but don't get the same look as yours, maybe I need more practice. Thanks in advance for your time and input. Luv KimT in Australia (friend to Keesh).
Beautiful card!! Love the textured background, makes all the other elements POP!! Gorgeous flower!!
Wow! Not only do I love that flower but that you colored it yellow is wonderful especially against that blue background, Great card!
