This is my card for the MMTPT338 challenge "The Joys of Nature can Calm the Weary Soul". Our challenge was to bring a garden of color and scent; a variety of plants to delight the senses and attract all the beautiful butterflies and hummers. We want to bring a bit of sunshine to the heart of Wendy, who is critically ill.
The image was stamped on watercolor paper using VersaMark and heat embossed with white ep. After watercoloring the image, I die cut it and brushed a coat of Wink of Stella over the flowers. I used the Misti to align my sentiment and double stamped it in London Fog ink. Butterflies decorate the inside of the card.
As always, thanks for looking!

Jody, you sure brought the most beautiful garden of blooms to Wendy with your card - your cheerful bright colors will brighten her day for sure!
Love the embossed outlines colored in with happiness and light, soft sponging, and the warmest thoughts and prayers, which I know were included with your card - Bless your heart!

Wow!!! What a stunningly beautiful flower garden for Wendy. Who couldn't but feel happy looking at this. I love the way you used the white embossing, it makes it so light and happy feeling.
