A Couple of Challenges

I wanted to support one of my loyal blog Followers, Carol Mayne, in her challenge; Tag You're It #45.  cm [as she is known in blogland], is so amazing on leaving comments on my cards, that in repayment, I just HAD to play in her inspiration tag challenge. :)

I used greens and blues [my go-to colors lately], and a sentiment from IBS Watercolor Sentiments, along with a stencil from ARTplorations Bubbles.  I was inspired by Carol's layout, stenciled bg, and of course, the tag on a card.  I am sending this card to a friend of mine who is going through some stuff -- that qualifies for Virginia's View Challenge; friendship card.


Loved your card Carol, glad I found time to play along.  Plus, I love actually needing a card :).


Thanks for stopping by~

My wonderful Vicki! I'm blushing deep red and feeling tickled pink (call me *ombre* grin) at your heart-warming shout! I love leaving comments for you, because a) you're a sweetheart and b) everything your create is AWE-SOME! The proof is in this post! Your card...heart captured! The rich blues/greens, the delicate stenciling (aren't those bubbles fun!), the lovely striped butterfly...swooning! What a fabulous spirit-lifting card for your friend; she'll love it, - and you! - as do I! Thank you for sharing this gem in the Tag You're It gallery; thank you for brightening this cold, rainy day!
