This week our cards are headed off to a young lady by the name of Karissa, in Pennsylvania. Karissa has just had her 5th open heart surgery and at the young age of 20 (she was born with a congenital heart disease). I can't even imagine one open heart surgery, let alone 5. Karissa is one strong young lady!
This working is putting a big crimp into my time for creativity, good thing it's only temporary!
This week I combined 2 Marianne Creatable dies on the kraft c/s. I wanted to see what it would look like and how it could be used. I'm happy with the end result. I stamped the kraft with a favorite stamp, whitewashed and colored that with Tombow Markers. This is all adhered to the pretty teal Swiss dots dp with lot of pearls added here and there on the kraft.
I send this card off to Karissa, with prayers of hope, health, and joy.

Breathtaking! Yes, the whitewashing/coloring with the white embossing on kraft just bowls me over - and along with the intricate die-cut edge, it all adds up to BEAUTIFUL, Jennifer. What a very special card for Karissa!

Gorgeous card, Jennifer. The pierced die cuts and incredible coloring of your floral design is sure to make the recipient gasp in delight. What a treasure. You NEVER go 1/2 way on these MMTPT cards.
