I designed this card awhile back and was going to use this for a class but didn’t end up using it.  I just LOVE this sketch…it was one I found on a challenge awhile back and thought it was just wonderful!  I used this same sketch for this card here.  It really is just a GREAT layout.  Two totally different looks between these cards.  Read more about it inside.

The base of this 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 card is Very Vanilla.  I took a piece of Pretty in Pink and stamped a design in Pretty in Pink on top of it.  Next I took a piece of the heavy window sheet and ran it through the Finial Press Embossing Folder.  I then layered this on top of a piece of Certainly Celery and then the Pretty in Pink layer.  I wrapped a piece of the Very Vanilla 5/8” Satin ribbon around the piece.  I made the bow by folding over a piece of the ribbon and putting it between the prongs of a Pretty in Pink Corduroy button and then put it through all the layers (not the base)

So next I took the pretty daffodil image and stamped it onto Watercolor paper using StazOn Jet Black ink (the best for watercoloring).  I’m usually not all that good with watercoloring but thought I would use my Watercolor Wonder Crayons (which I do LOVE but haven’t used much!).  I used the Regal Rose and Garden Green crayons to color in the image using my Aqua Painter.  I love the shading you can get with the crayons and the aqua painter.  I layered this onto a piece of Regal Rose and then the card front.

I’ve really been into my Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  I love how it works so well with the Word Window punch and then onto the Modern Label punch.  So I stamped the greeting onto a piece of Very Vanilla using the StazOn Jet Black again.  I punched out and layered onto a Garden Green Modern Label punch.  Okay…I’m REALLY attached to my Beautiful Wings Emblosslit die (in case you didn’t notice this) so to finish off my card I did the butterflies in Pretty in Pink and added them around the greeting.  What a great card to let someone know you were thinking of them!

This is such a pretty set!  I resisted (okay NOT for a very long time) getting it when I first saw it but now am glad I did.  I just LOVE pink daffodils…don’t you?  Happy Stampin’!
