The 4 Elements & A Simple Card

Good evening, I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday. This has certainly been a very long week for me. Pat had a easy peasy challenge this week. She said just make a simple card. And I did with stuff I had lying about my desk. I will send this one to Karen's mother who is facing bypass surgery in the next couple of days. Please remember her. All the colors did match, well at least they did in natural light. Just a pattern piece of DP folded into a card base. More corresponding paper with the little poppy. A ribbon, sentiment, and flower, and it was finished.

The second one is from the DT, at 365 cards. Today's challenge was to divide your card into 4 parts representing the 4 basic elements: water, fire, earth, and air. This was hard for me. So I googled the elements and found this picture. Layered it on several different colors and now I have to come up with a sentiment to put inside. Thanks for looking tonight.

Hope everyone has a terrific weekend. It is suppose to be a beautiful weekend with sun and a nip of chill in the air in my part of NC.

Well, you certainly 'Rocked' these two challenges! I love both cards! The 'get well' card is so cheerful, yet soothing.
And I really like the symbols and color combo on your 4 elements card. Great cards, Shelia!
