In my thoughts

Is it Friday yet?  Have you ever noticed how long the first full week after a holiday feels?  LOL!  I'm struggling but I've almost made it to the weekend.  Go me!  Anywho...let's talk about a card!  I have been wanting to increase my stash of sympathy cards because I never seem to have any on hand when I need them.  I tend to use flowers as my go to images and the Spread Your Wings set from Polka Dot Orchard is just perfect!

Here is the card I created.

I started by printing the flowers out onto a piece of watercolor cardstock.  Then I used several different shades of watercolor pencisl and blender brush to color up the image.  I cut it out with a scalloped rectangle die

I added foam tape and adhered it to an olive green rectangle.  This was then glued directly to a gorgeous floral design paper from Simple Stories.  Then finally onto a natural ivory card base.

The sentiment comes from the Floral Flourish Background 4 set.  I printed it onto a rust piece of cardstock.  Then I ran it through my Minc with gold foil.  I added foam tape to the back of the strip before adding it to the card.  Now I needed some more sparkle so I added gold splatters over the entire card front.  Ta da!  All done!

I hope you will head over to the Polka Dot Orchard store HERE and check out all of the awesome stamp sets!
