I stamped the sentiment and flower in Blue Bayou ink, then watercolored in some So Saffron and Blue Bayou ink. The sentiment was stamped again (without reinking) onto the flower circle to continue the words without overpowering the flower.
My sketch is Deconstructing Sketch 53.
You can read what the sentiment says, and see some close-ups here.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my card!

WOW! So many cool elements on this fabulous card of yours. Love your clip, crochet'd flower with a button, and that jute kind of ribbon. The distressed edges were just the perfect touch to this wonderful card. WOW! TFS :0)

Your card is stunning, Judy... and that sentiment.. well, it made me tear up - It needs to be on the mirror in my kid's bathroom, they need to read this every day.
