The Same but Different

Thank you to everyone who joined in and made a card using the past week's Funky Hand Template - such a huge variety of cards you've shared with us. Soon the names of everyone who joined in will go into the virtual hat and one lucky Darer will win the fab Shabby Saturday collection from Funky Hand - keep checking back to see if it's YOU!

Did you check out Sue's wonderful Dry Embossing tutorial on Tuesday? Sue's work is fantastic and having her share her tips and techniques is a special treat - definitely worth bookmarking!

And so to our next dare and it's me (Kathy) setting you a little challenge this time. One of the things I love about our dares is that although we all start with the same brief, the cards we produce are all so different.

So for my dare I'd like to see what happens when our starting point is the same quotation:

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

Henry Van Dyke

I'd like you to use this quotation somewhere on your card It doesn't have to be on the front, or even need to be immediately visible. You could perhaps print it on vellum, add it on a tag, put it inside the card, or chop it up and use all the words "ransom note" style. I've chosen this quotation because I think we sometimes need reminding that everyone is special in their own way, and everyone, without exception has a talent to bring to the world - we should all value our own talents and those of other people more than we do

I have a feeling this might be a tricky one - but don't give up without having a try - use your fabulous, creative skills and make a card to show off your cardmaking talents, then leave a message here so we can all give due praise!
Here are some cards from our talented Design Team to get you started:
