Thinking of you

Hello all you craft lovers!

Today I have a card to show you that I made for a friend.

I wanted to let her know she is always in my thoughts and prayers.

I started with a piece of water color paper and an acrylic block.

Using a few water color crayons, I scribbled on the acrylic

block and spritzed it with a bit of water.

Then I laid the paper onto the block to soak up the color.

I have seen this technique done before and I've tried it

a number of times and I'm never very happy with the results,

but this time, I really did love it.

I stamped the Thinking of You sentiment onto the water 

color piece using my Misti tool.

I started out stamping it with yellow, hoping that it would show

up on the pink, but it didn't work and I ended up stamping over

it with a slate gray ink.

I adhered it to a bright yellow card base and added a white

piece of card stock inside.

On the inside the yellow worked much better.

I left room so I could write a message to my friend.

When I was at Ikea, I picked up this hook to send her.

She had gotten one when we had gone to Ikea a few weeks

ago when I was visiting and I know she wishes she had

picked up another, so I sent this along with the card.

I'm hoping it brings a smile to her face.

Now I'm wishing I would have picked up a couple for

my craft room.  Oh well, I'll just have to make another

trip to Ikea.  I just wish there was one close to me.

Another excuse to go visit I guess.

Thanks for stopping by today,

hope you'll stop by again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
