Wings have something mystical for me.
Angels have wings, fairies, my favorite animal:
the bat :)
Love and positive feelings give wings.
Today I would like to see what gives you wings.
I am very curious about your creations! <3
I knew immediately the perfect stamp for the card I wanted to create! I have an online artsy friend by the name of Wyanne. She has a rare form of cancer, and this month has had her tongue and surrounding tissue removed, as well as some reconstructive surgery. She is home now, but with a very long and difficult period of healing and recovery ahead of her. While her fighting spirit has given *me* wings, I hope the love and support around her will give *her* wings!
The Stampotique Originals' stamp I used is called "Owl with Wings," and was created by stamp designer Jo Capper-Sandon. The nifty thing about this stamp is that the wings are not attached to the owl, so that you can position them any way that works for your project. You can also use the wings separately--for instance, giving another of the images wings! Clever! So, here's my card for Wyanne, who was brave enough to ask her friends for help:
I hope you will join me in creating something for the Stampotique Designers' Challenge each week. The use of Stampotique Originals' stamps is not required. You can use any rubber or clear stamps that you have (no digital stamps!) to participate in the weekly challenges, each week giving you another chance to win one of two drawings for a $30 gift certificate toward Stampotique products of your choice! Details for submissions are here.

This is fabulous Kay, I love the texture in the background and the way you've positioned Owl's wings. I hope your friend recovers quickly xx
ReplyDeleteI love this card, both its beauty and its powerful symbolism. It is not just the verse that speaks to me about friends supporting the person who needs to rest their wings. For me, the beautiful golden rays symbolize hope, as it displaces what could have been the darkness of despair without the support of friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Russ!
DeleteKay this is an amazing card, I love every detail and what a sweet gesture for your friend. The golden rays are so pretty. I would love to send your friend a card too if you wouldn't mind giving me her address.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Kay, I heard about this friend of yours and I am praying for the best for her. This card is a great show of support for her. Lots of blog love today.
