Let Us ENCOURAGE One Another!

It's January 15th and it's another Dueling Darling Day!  Today the theme is "ENCOURAGEMENT".  The Dueling Darlings have two teams, the Darlings and the Divas, who challenge each other to create  a card or other paper craft and display on their blogs and/or their Splitcoaststampers Gallery.  Working in pairs, a person from each team works together to select a theme.  They then create card kits around the theme and mail to their team members.  This month Donna for team Darlings and Judy (that's me!) chose the theme.  Here's what is in the card kit for team Divas:

Designer Papers:  s e i "Field Notes"; DCWV "Copper Luxury"; echo park "Handmade Journaling"; and an unknown designer

Stamped Image:  Paper Pretties "Flutterby" (girl and sentiment "Flutter your wings and fly"); There She Goes "Spread your wings and fly" sentiment.

Embellishments: ribbon, twine paper flowers and leaves, pearls, rhinestones, and butterfly brad from various companies.

Here is my card:


 I colored my image with Copic markers and used the pearls, twine and paper flower from the kit.


This is the inside of the card and I used the There She Goes sentiment, a strip of designer paper and a couple die cut butterflies left over from a previous project.

Donna and I encouraged our teammates to send their card to someone they felt needs encouragement.  I plan on sending my card to my sister Jinny who 6 days ago had a kidney transplant.  She received her kidney from her husband and I'm happy to report they are both doing great!  She has a long recovery and since I can't be with her as we live so far apart (she's in Seattle, WA and I'm in the Tucson, AZ area) I plan on sending her cards of encouragement every day.
