A lady at our church was in a serious car accident earlier this week. She is 'ok' but has a long recovery ahead. I made this card for her, using the inspiration from the current Fusion challenge:
I was inspired by the colours, layout and the flloral theme. I took the 'plunge' so to speak, into watercolouring and used both my Kuretake Zig Clean Colour Markers (for the flower) and Kuretake Gansai Tambi (for the background). The stamps and matching die are Ellen Hutson's Mondo Hydrangea.
Beautiful job Ardyth! Looks like a seasoned watercolor attempt to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Ardyth - love the colour of the flowers and the gorgeous wash behind them
