A Little Help From My Friends

The artists at Greeting Card Universe were challenged with a new contest this week called "A Little Help From My Friends."  Each artist was told to choose a favorite greeting card (it couldn't be one of our own, but had to be from another artist) and post our selection to our own blog, along with a few words about why we liked that particular card. 

There are so many wonderful cards at GCU, it was hard to pick just one! But, because of this blog's usual theme, I narrowed my choices to other artists "Hope" cards and found this beautiful one from my friend, Barbara Schreiber (who you met in this previous post). I've admired this card before ... the soft, dreamy colors are beautiful and I've always been drawn to Barbara's painting style. She is a very talented artist. Click here to check out her GCU store.

Even though Barbara's card is my choice for this particular contest, there are several other artists who have encouragement cards for cancer patients that I really liked, so I decided to share a few of those as well!


    

 


Stay tuned next week for part two of this contest!!
