This beautiful card was made by my friend, Evie last night, and is her very first watercolor/masking card. We did this after Stamp Class last night, and I think she did a most beautiful job! This is for her sister's 50th bd next month.
Evie sponged over a torn paper towel to make the clouds. IRL they are fabulous! The little fencing is from Michael's, and usually can be found around Christmas time in the miniature house section.
Evie does not have a gallery yet, and I could not talk her into posting. What a shame! She has tons of beautiful cards. Maybe when her children are older she can post her work. Til then, you can leave some words for her here, and I will send her a link.
Thanks for looking! Evie~ you have made a gorgeous scene for Liz and I know she will treasure this card!

She used one of my most favorite images. I am a Sissy to my Sister Debra and I have made her several encouragement cards using this same image! I know her Sister will love this beauty. I do like how she did them clouds! Used a paper towel???? What will they think of next!!! Beautiful watercoloring and that little fence is a very unexpected touch! Get that girl on a gallery so we can see her stuff!!!
