Greetings friends. Today I want to share a card to give someone when you just don't know quite what to say. I thought the new sentiment was absolutely lovely.

To make the card, I started with 140lb watercolor paper and stamped the two ladies and sentiment using black Versafine ink. After it dried, I colored the friends with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and a waterbrush. I made sure to let each section dry completely before coloring an adjacent section to make sure my paint didn't bleed. I also added a blue "halo" around the friends and a brown shadow under the friends to make sure the image was grounded on the card. It adds a bit of dimension.

Here is a close up of the coloring:


To finish the card, I used some IO die cut photo corners to frame my piece.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again tomorrow!
