A note for you

This card was made for a friend who recently moved into a new place, after having her things in storage for a while. I wanted to wish her well with un-packing and re-discovering her precious things!

Photobucket

The colours for this card were inspired by another of my daughters Pumpkin Patch tops. Everytime I saw her wearing the top, I couldn't stop thinking of the colours: White, Turquoise, Coral, Rose Red, Regal Rose. The main image was watercoloured using an aquapainter and ink pad lids. The textured effect on the coral panel was achieved by running it through my paper crimper in both directions.

Materials
Stamps: Sweet Little Sentiments, Playful Petals
Cardstock: Confetti White, Tempting Turquoise, Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Watercolour Paper
Ink: Stazon, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Grey
Other: 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Paper Crimper, Aquapainter, Pretties Kit
