HAPPY PLACE

Creating cards is certainly my happy place, but thought this sentiment would be perfect for a Valentine card also.  Made this card for CAS Mix-Up's current challenge of loose watercoloring.


Began by loose watercoloring the background and die cutting it with a stitched rectangle.  Die cut the lacy heart (retired HA) three times for some extra texture.  The little flowers were die cut from another piece of loosely watercolored paper.  Added the sentiment and a few sequins and done!


Thanks for stopping by.
