Thankful for You

Hi!  I made this card a bit ago and forgot to share it.  When I received TAWS Iconic set a year (maybe 2?!) ago I had the idea for the pattern on this card, but somehow never the time.  I used just one of the images in the set to build a messy watercolor background.  Atypical for me, I embraced (on purpose!) the imperfections, blurring of colors, and uneven stamping.  And I kind of love it.  I tried to channel my inner Laura Bassen by adding some string and glossy accent dots to finish it off.  Well, the sun is visiting today and we are off to enjoy it!  Have a great week!

  5. Hi Lindsey. Just thought I pop in to say HI. Your cards has such pretty colors. I actually thought the uneven stamping and blurring of colors was part of the look! :) I actually like it like that! Just because it's unique!

  6. Love your messy water colored background. I can definitely see your Laura channeling. Love the soft colors you used. Hope you had a good day out in the sun.

  7. I didn't see this as messy--just a more informal watercolor, which I love. The soft colors are so pretty!
