1) Today's WT262, A Little Encouragement, a two part challenge...create an encouragement card or project and for the second part...make sure you give it away! This will go to my friend who will be having her second installment of wrist surgery (the left wrist this time) very soon.
3) Limelight Papercrafts Sketch 43 (LLPC043) to use the given sketch and try to incorporate your favorite RIBBON. I used this ultra fancy beaded, braided ribbon/trim. The sketch challenge may be found here: http://limelightpapercrafts.blogspot...43-ribbon.html
4) A new challenge for me: Flutter By Wednesday. This week's challenge is to use the color green and/or shamrocks AND be sure to include butterflies, fairies or angels. The challenge may be found here: http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot....y-fbw-101.html
My angel image is stamped in gold ink and heat embossed with clear EP. I salvaged one of the little beaded elements that got clipped off my ribbon trim (while trimming it to fit my card) by hand-stitching it to the ivory bow above the angel. Card measures 4.25" square.
This is not the card I envisioned making today (I really need to keep going on my Easter cards!!), but I was really inspired by all of these great challenges and knew I could make a super card of encouragement for my friend to help her through her wrist surgery ordeal. Thanks everyone for the inspiration!
Thanks for looking!
Emily

And you did all these challenges so well, Emily!! I'm so sorry for your friend. No surgery is fun, and hands are so necessary!!!!!!! I love all the beads and the braid!!

What a lovely card, Emily! Such pretty details...the hanging crystal, gimp trim, sweet angel image and lovely DP! Your friend is going to be thrilled. I'm sure she knows there is a special card coming when she sees your envelope!

Emily, this is outstanding! You have so much talent. This card is sure to encourage your friend having wrist surgery. The elegant ribbon/bead trim is awesome. Glad you could salvage that bead for your ribbon treatment. Also, I really like how you did the sentiment. Cool! Thanks for playing again this week with the StampinB's. I see you got in many challenges. Way to go!
