This week we are off to San Antonio, TX to bring some teapot love to Denise who is having some health troubles. My card going in the mail today!
I was looking for inspiration on roses when I stumbled upon a gorgeous card made by SandiMac. (I will try to link it...no promises) I pulled my inspiration from her wonderful art.
SU's Fifth Avenue Florals stamped in craft white and embossed in white. Watercolored with SU markers and cut out. I'm not very good at watercoloring and would have liked the colors to be bolder. Oh well! Used pinks, greens and yellow from SU's 6x packs to cut rectangles and circles for the bg. Mounted flowers with dimensions and added die cut leaves in certainly celery and wild wasabi. Sentiment from SU's Teeny Tiny Wishes. Added tiny organza bow.
