I wish I could say that I actually water colored this beauty but alas it is a wonderful image I found on Pinterest. It is for my DIL who did a wonderful thing for us recently and I wanted to make her a card to show our appreciation. This is the same daughter-in-law who loves all things "sailing" and "ocean" and when I found this I knew I would be using it for a card for her. I priinted it on water color paper, mounted to a dp to match the color in the back ground of the image. I cut the "thanks" from Wild Card Cricut cartridge (cut twice and glued together). I added the "so much" by computer as I printed the image.
This is pretty clean and simple for me!
Thanks for coming by to take a look. It is always appreciated!

Oh my Peggy! This is wonderful! That image is lovely but what really makes this splendid is the thinking you put into it. Printing it on watercolour paper makes the image 'whole' if you take my meaning. The style of it now matches the medium. Doubling up the Cricut cut sentiment makes it more than it was. What a talent you have for improving the bits we all could use but make a hash of! (of course I am only really speaking for myself here) :-) Need I say I love your card?

WOW Peggy, this is so stunning. I love how CAS yet striking. And to say you found it on Pintrist I am going to need to do more searching. You did a fantastic job on this for your Daughter in Law.

Peggy, your card is beautiful and you found a perfect image for your DIL...it looks like you water colored it to me. : ) printing it on watercolor paper is brilliantly! Love the dimension you gave to your sentiment.

Wow! Peggy, this is gorgeous! Yes, for you it is CAS, but it is so elegant and rich! I love the soft colors with the striking black contrast of matting and pearls! Such a beauty, my friend! Hugs!
