This is for a weekly challenge I do with a group of SCS friends on Mondays. Once a month, someone in our group selects a unique name of another SCSer to build upon our card theme. This month is mwebb's turn (golly's DD), and we had to make a card with a web on it.
I aptly named this card Black & Blue because that's what I was by the time I settled on a card! I threw out several attempts and just had to face the fact that I failed miserably when it comes to putting a web on a card! Very late last night (when I should have been asleep), I finally decided to use the SU rub ons. Those things are grrrreeeat!
Okay, so I ended up with a card with no stamping and a hand drawn web that makes absolutely no sense for being on this card other than it was a requirement. Oi vay! So please be kind and don't reinforce my feelings of failure on this one, okay?
Have a great day everyone!

Charlene...you goofball. Failure? I beg to differ. I used rub ons for the first time last week and they are cooler than you think huh! This is an adorable card and I for one have seen butterflies hanging around spiders......it's a buggy kinda thing! And lets face it....our challenge requirement was a buggy kinda thing....so no failure here!
I love this card, the colors are awesome together and you did good so quit being so hard on yourself.....you rock!

I think the card is wonderful!!! I have some rub ons and I am so scared to use them, I think I'll mess them up. Yours look wonderful and the little web is adorable!!! Black and blue are a great color combo. Your card rocks!!! I really appreciate it and I'm so sorry it was so painful for you. :( You did a wonderful job. Thanks to very much.

Charlene. This is just the sweetest challenge for your group to do. I have seen some of the cards already this morning and they are truly outstanding. But....Your card brought tears to my eyes. Sorry you had to stay up late. I think I would have just made a Halloween card and said. 'Oh I thought that was what I was what we were supposed to do'. Thanks for helping to make this a Special day for Mary.

my dear 'famous' friend......YOU could NEVER be a FAILURE.......and....honestly, this card jumped right out of the gallery at me with the Blue and Black (sounds kinder that way).......I think the web fits right in with the spring theme.....cuz those spiders get busy in the gardens when the flowers are bursting in bloom..............lovely....really lovely
