Feel Better


It's Blog Hop time at Papertrey Ink, and Nichole's challenge
is this dreamy photo

Inspiration? Well, there's the color, robin's egg blue.
And a beautifully staged wedding invitation.
The setting is positively dreamy.


I stamped a floral from Stemmed Statements onto watercolor paper,
and loosely colored the blooms, letting the water pull the color outside the lines.
Then die cut with PTI's Mix & Mat: Postal.
At the top I added a die cut banner embossed in white, with a sentiment 
from Stemmed Statements. Love that cute little banner with the 2 holes!
Also did an envelope, stamped with Spring Rain, and colored with copics.


Because of the ring box in the photo, I added a few iridescent sequins to finish.

Think I'll do a set of cards with the other florals from this set. 
Will post them as they're done!

Come play along all day on Nichole's Blog.

Finished a few more cards for my set.




This is such a full and versatile set. With many words and sentiments it's easy to find
and add just the right greeting. And the florals, so many that lend to coloring
with any medium. 
Hope you're enjoying the hop. Always get such fabulous inspiration!

  8. Looks like we were thinking along the same lines again...don't you just LOVE the Stemmed Statements set and that cute little banner?! (I didn't order the matching dies on release night and then the next day decided I NEEDED that little banner with the holes and placed another order...boy am I a sad case or what?!!!) But anyway, LOVE your water colored flowers and the postal die cut too...lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)

  11. Love your watercoloring and choice of colors! Beautiful job Nancy! I have not been home to receive my release goodies, if they have in fact arrived that is. We are always the last to get our shipments in California, so it seems.
