Over at the Hero Arts Flickr Group, a bunch of us signed up to do a week-long challenge where we paired up and came up with our own challenge idea. I was paired with the ultra-talented Vanessa Menhorn (!!!) and we decided to make cards for Jennifer McGuire's Cards for Kids, a program that sends handmade cards to children with serious health issues and their family members.
Knowing that some of these kids are teenagers, I made my first card with teenagers in mind:
SUPPLIES:
Paper: Bazzill, DCWV; Stamps: Hero Arts CL377; Inks: Memento, Ranger Distress; PrismaColor Pencils; Other: unknown ribbon, Pop-Dots, Stickles, Hero Arts pearls.
Vanessa was a Wednesday Wonder! Visit her terrific blog, Wings of a Butterfly or her Flickr page!
We'll be sharing our cards all week, and do check out Cards for Kids!
Hi partner in crime! I love your genius card! This flower and the bee with that bling! Perfect! I am sure that one of the teenagers will treasure this!! Hugs, Vanessa x
