The best I could do was I is for inks! The quote is by Phyllis Theroux. A BRAK card sent to me had it on the outside envelope . It says "To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart.
ETA....several have asked how I did the background. At first I couldn't remember! So I pulled out the stencil again and it came back to me. I tapped distress ink pads in random pattern s all over the stencil, sprayed with water and then flipped it over to lay it down on the watercolor paper! You want it wet enough to let color, but not runny wet that the color would go into the blank parts of the stencils if that makes sense....
ETA...I handwrote the quote.

This is incredible for Letter I. First, the INK background for is awesome. Such lovely Spring colors. Secondly, the quote is wonderful. Love it! Third - love how you inscriped the quote along the inner edges of the tree branches & trunk. That is so clever! Interesting idea so into my favs! TFS

Kathy, this is so cool! I love the colours and the quote and this idea could be used for other quotes too. Like Diane, this goes into my favs too and also Pinterest.

What a fabulous way to incorporate your text into the card. I wouldn't dare try to write all that without making a bunch of booboos. I can even misspell my own name. Gorgeous card.
