My Wishful Thinking Card

Hi Everyone,

Yes, this is my "Wishful Thinking" Card. I am just ready for winter to be over. But, here in Michigan, winter will be in full swing for about 3 more months. My card today is a Spring card. ( I am living vicariously through my cards. LOL)



I used this fun sketch from Dutch Dare. I changed it a bit. I put my sentiment in the upper corner instead of an embellishment and put my embellishment (ribbon) in the lower corner. And , I went just a tad bit squarer. I used stamps from Impression Obsession for their Thursday Challenge: use the color Purple. This card also is entered in the Paper Play Challenge: Back to Back (use black for the base) and Stamp Something : Cute somethings.

I stamped the image with Stazon on watercolor paper. I watercolored with inks. I used a Spellbinders to cut the circles. Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Black from Stampin' Up: Lt. Lavender and Purple from Bazzill. And, here is a detail shot.

My Husband is still in the Hospital. He might be able to come home on Sunday. Please keep us in your prayers. Thanks so much.

Love ya,

Karen

    That stamp is so very pretty and I love your use of purple (I'm actually wearing a purple jacket today, LOL!). I'm sorry to hear that Don is still in hospital, really really hope that you'll be able to get him home any day now. Take care, big hugs, Ira xox
