CASology #138 and AAA #35

I always love cards with flowers on them so I have a ton a flower stamps.  It took a while to narrow it down for my card for CASology.



I don't know if these are cherry or apple blossoms but since I painted them pink, let's say they're cherry.  I white embossed the stamp from PB and watercolored it with Distress Ink. The embossing was close together because the stamp was so small that I ended up ironing it off to make it easier to finish coloring.  The sentiment is from PTI.

This card is going to a friend who has lost her nephew, Dad, and just recently her brother-in-law, all in the last year.  I hate to see her in such pain.  She is usually such a bubbly person but a lot of the life has gone out of her.

There's a lot of white space here so I'm sending this card off to AAA where the theme is Bare Naked CAS.  My blossoms are soft and pink like the babies behind.  lol


Thanks for stopping by.  Your visits and comments are always appreciated.
