I pulled these two cards together, mostly SU supplies, from stuff I had from SU gatherings I went to, where I tend not to finish things because I think of stuff I have at home that would look good. These are for the sisters who are the recipients of our tea party this week. They have physical and mental challenges from a rare chromosome issue. I read a little about it, sound like most don't survive past a few years old, if they even survive that long. So these women are amazing and so are their parents.
This is also for today's WT-rescuing the perished or otherwise overlooked pieces or mistakes or whatever. The watercolor on the right was a piece I did with a friend before I ever tried the WCW challenges. Thanks for the challenges!

What a lovely pair of cards. I spy one of my favourite embossing folders. Love that ribbon/binding and the metallic twine. The combination of the yellow butterfly with the purple flowers is super - made me think of pansies.

These are beautiful Jean! I think I own that heart edge punch or one VERY similar - why did I never think to use it vertically - It looks fabulous. And such Beautiful unique butterflies on both cards.

Such pretty cards for the sisters. I love the rich razzleberry and always have. So, you were already watercoloring before the WCW....good for you. You had a head start.

Gorgeous cards and gorgeous details. Love the bits of ribbon and cording and dp strips. So elegant. Sure to win over these ladies and be treasured keepsakes. I, too, agree with you that these are some amazing folks.
