I managed to get both the Mix Ability Challenge (a sketch) and the Free 4 All challenge (Encouraging Wellness) in my card today!
I sponged a stencil background, die cut the flat bottom circle out of Origami paper, stamped along the top edge and added washi tape along the bottom edge.
I sponged the edges of the fortune cookies with Tea Dye Distress ink.

Very creative way to get your sentiment in - those fortune cookies look positively real! I love your stenciled background, origami paper and coordinating Washi. This is a very nice sketch!

Looooove this, and I'm so impressed that your stamp and stencil match so well! I don't use blue on my cards much but I love the look of the origami paper here. Gorgeous - thank you for playing along with me!

Love this! Perfect background to go with the fortune cookies, tucked with their well wishes. Beautiful sponging, with the wonderful stamp and washi tape.

Oh, Julia, I love fortune cookies, and what a wonderful design for these challenges! And that you made it interactive is even more fun -- especially as a card to encourage someone in illness. I love it!! Hugs!
