I had a piece of spritzed watercolour paper left over from yesterday's card and I couldn't bear just to leave it lying around without a home, so I made this quick card which I will add to Virginia's View challenge over at the Lily Pad, and it's also going to help out my friend Martha, whose heart is really hurting after visiting a nursing home. She has asked if anyone over at the Hero Arts Flickr site could help donate some cards which she could then take to the folks over at the nursing home, in the hope of putting a smile on their faces.
I just cannot say no to a worthy cause like that. It came from her heart, so profound and so true, that she has spent many hours crying about it. I can totally understand what she is feeling.
So, here is my card, and hopefully it will put a smile on someone's face. I have quite a few more that are going her way and I plan on making more this week. If you think you can help, you can just click on her name above to go to the discussion thread.
Paper: cardstock (PTI); watercolour paper (SSS); Neenah
Ink: various shades of Glimmer Mist; Memento Tuxedo Black; Copic markers
Stamps: Hero Arts (sentiment - CL380); PTI (Butterfly Dreams)
Other: PTI Butterfly die; stickles; dimensional foam tape; corner chomper
I hope you can find some time to make a few cards for this very worthy effort. Have a wonderful day!
