Creating an inventory of my crafting supplies has multiple benefits. I know what I have, and I know where it is. But in addition, I “find” things I’ve forgotten about. This beautiful Floral Focus from My Favorite Things is one of them. I embossed it in white on Altenew watercolor paper and colored it with my Zig Watercolor markers. Every time I get out the watercolors I remember how much I enjoy it. I need to do it more often.
When I finished the watercolors, I fussy cut the right side of the design and added it to this lovely purple/red cardstock which I can’t identify. The sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio’s Perfect Sentiments was hot foiled in gold. I added a few clear “rain drops” and called it done.
I’m entering this in the Four Seasons Challenge: Spring and the Just Add Ink Challenge. Both challenges have a beautiful inspiration board with some lovely purple florals, although my purple is a different hue. Hope it doesn’t matter.
That would cheer anyone up! The raindrops are the perfect finish.
A truly stunning card! Cutting away around your focal image makes for a real wow impact. Thanks so much for joining us at Just Add Ink this week. Kerry, DT
OM goodness that is a stunning card. Like the colours of the card base – colour looks like “berry burst” & those clear raindrops just add that finishing touch. Beautiful card.
A stunning image – kinda reminds me of a Stained Glass Window. The raindrops are delightful. Chantell Just Add Ink

Thanks! I had no idea. I haven’t looked at a blog in nearly three weeks. I’m sitting in Dulles airport waiting for our last flight. We’ve been in Portugal Spain for 18 days. I can’t imagine how long it will take to catch up with it all, to say nothing of getting into routines again.
