On our inspiration site today (IC531) I saw this image of nails: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/383720830727227358/
It reminded me of a panel that I had made a while back, with shades of pinks and coral using the techniques of saturated watercolor smooshing and then the bokeh technique with white pigment ink. I used part of the panel for this card here, and then decided that the "cut out" portion would work for a new card for today's challenge (a "two-fer" - love that when it happens). My earlier card description has more info on the 2 techniques if you are interested, or you can go to our tutorial section. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory.

You're amazing, Maura. How you can keep all those challenges separate yet a part of your crafting is beyond my comprehension. This is a beautiful card and one crafted to perfection.

Maura, I love the technique on the heart. Nicely done and isn't it wonderful using up previously made pieces. I love the font on the greeting to and went looking for it but could not find the set!
