Yahoo -we have our own section in the challenge forum - today's challenge is here as well as on Cindy's blog.
Today Cindy shared with us the sad story of Mr and Mrs White. I am here to show them that there is a way of compromise - Blacken can have his black and white, but with a little behind-the-scenes magic Blanca can have her colour. It's been too long since I made a magic card, so a couple of detours meant I am later than planned arriving at the party.
Magic Card tutorial is in the Resources section. I used Flourishes Strut your Stuff for the peacock and sentiment. Peacock is coloured with H2Os and a sponged background. I embossed the front panel of the the card with Textile after cutting the oval. I used a Fiskars border punch for the bottom and top borders, and a large eyelet and fibres. I used the little flowers left from the border punch to decorate the front, with little gems.
This also fits the current FTTC challenge, using border punches.

Oh duh! Now I get it!! This card is awesome Sabrina. I have just been drinking too much of our tea and didn`t quite understand the concept of the magic card. You did a beautiful job! TFS

Holy cow Sabrina! Why didn't you tell us you were a magician sooner, we coulda had magic shows at the teaparties! Giggle! What a creative mind you have...the best of both worlds, like you say, Blacken and Blanca can be happy. You are quite the mediator....
What a beautiful image you chose. When I said colorful birds, you showed up to the party huh! Awesome, can't wait to see what the other one looks like!

Well, I'm always tellin' everyone how clever you are and all the magic you work....whether it's cardmaking, your photography, your cooking, your knitting.....so many talents rolled into one little woman. Love your idea for the magic card, Sabrina, and your beautiful peacock.
Hey! Green goes really good with blue. Does your peacock want some pea soup? Bertie brought some. I think it'd be funny to watch a peacock eat pea soup, wouldn't you? :-)
