Courage



wtih Dawn McVey



A quick card today, for my husbands sister. I must confess I did not use paint I used ink. Other than that I followed instructions. 
I painted first, heat dried the paper then embossed in white. 

Stamps: Mum's the Word and Faith & Hope  from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

  1. Beautiful card Marybeth! I was thinking the watercolor needed something more and those flowers are perfect! Love the sentiment too...I think I will have to CAS this as my bible study ladies are buying up all my sympathy/prayer cards!

  15. Your card is beautiful as well. That flower image looks great on the watercolor. I was afraid the skinny font of the word wouldn't show on my card so I stamped it after.

  29. Definitely a beauty with the ink. It is more vibrant, and the white stands out perfectly. Loving those mums and how you placed them too.

  30. A 'strong' (?) sentiment when placed like this!! Just love the watercoloured background and ink is perfect too for this technique!
    Great CAS card and yet feminine too.
    I think the color matches perfectly with the sentiment 'Courage'!!!
    Bye,
