Hi everyone. I wanted to get this card posted tonight, as I may get away to my Mom's tomorrow if the weather and roads aren't too bad. We seem to be getting a bit of snow or freezing rain each day lately. Nothing like last year, but still enough to make things miserable. I prefer to just stay home and hibernate, but that is not always possible. My father has finally been admitted to a nursing home, after a five month wait in hospital. We are hoping he adjusts without too many problems, as that will relieve Mom of some of the stress. Has anyone noticed that the 'golden years' aren't all we envisioned? On that note.....
...how about a card for a new baby! Here I've used watercolours on a pretty stamp from Wild Rose Studio. If you look closely, you will also see a corner stamp done with blue ink and some glitter on the flowers and butterflies. Otherwise, a fairly simple design with minimal embellishment...and it's all ready to go in the mail.
Thanks for stopping by. Drive carefully, and I will too.
Some challenges for my card:
