Fusion - Thinking of You


A lady at our church was in a serious car accident earlier this week. She is 'ok' but has a long recovery ahead. I made this card for her, using the inspiration from the current Fusion challenge:



I was inspired by the colours, layout and the flloral theme. I took the 'plunge' so to speak, into watercolouring and used both my Kuretake Zig Clean Colour Markers (for the flower) and Kuretake Gansai Tambi (for the background). The stamps and matching die are Ellen Hutson's Mondo Hydrangea.

ETA: Look what I got!! So excited (and thankful to Michelle W, who chose my card!)

  10. Lovely get well card. I was starting to think from Tracey's cards lately that I only wanted to see this hydrangea embossed in white from now on... but now I can like it again in black, too. ;)
