Happiness

Hello!  I'm here today to share a card I made for The Craft's Meow Blog today.


I used this beautiful flower from Nina's Beautiful Spring set, first stamping it all over the ivory background in tattered rose distress ink, and then again just once in black, clear embossing it, then watercoloring it with the same ink.  I also watercolored the leaves using peeled paint and shabby shutters distress inks, then cut them out and popped them and the flower above the background panel.  My sentiment is from Karen Baker's Lark Additions.

Wow, this set looks like it's made for YOU! It has all the Lin signature favorites! I love the background stamping and use of sentiment! I sure have missed seeing you in Fort Lauderdale (I was there prior to/after the cruise)!
