Watercolored "Thinking of you"

I hope everyone is having a great day so far, where I am at it is raining buckets right now, so it's perfect for getting out the tools and supplies and being creative! 

Today I am sharing with you a clean and simple card that I gave to a dear friend of mine who lost a really good friend of hers recently. It's not the kind of card we like to make and give out but it's nice to receive them when you are going through hard times yourself. 

I stamped the flower images (from Close to my Heart) onto some Strathmore cold press watercolor paper with Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp with Jet black ink from Lawn Fawn. I used a #2 round Silver Black Velvet brush and some Crayola watercolors to paint the flowers and used some broken china distress oxide ink for the blue halo around them. To finish it off with just a tiny bit of bling I adhered some Pretty Pink Posh sequins with some Multi Medium Matte from Ranger. I adhered the panel onto a card base of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White #80lb cardstock with my Scotch ATG.  

Thank you for visiting me today, I hope I gave you some inspiration to give to someone you know who is going through a hard time right now too!

Happy Crafting!
