I wish you each a lovely day.
It's time to share a Project for the new Moving Along With The Times Challenge!
Challenge #107's theme is WEDDING OR ANNIVERSARY - for the next 2 weeks!
A special friend will soon be celebrating a special anniversary, and this card is for her. The paler blue pieces are watercolor paper prepared with pearlescent blue, aqua and purple acrylic paints smeared with a little glitter:
The dry embossed area was highlighted with Sky Blue Pearlescent ink. The word "Cherish" and the leaves have been coated with glue and transparent glitter. The white die cuts are from white glossy cardstock:
These rolled "bitty blossoms" are so pretty!
