This card is for Sue aka gregzgurl's VSN challenge;
When I first saw that the theme for this VSN was HAPPY, I immediately thought of this phrase: "You are my happy!" Many of the sentiments I own have to do with happy, and this is one of my faves! We all have someone in our lives that we feel this way about, right? Or two or six or fifteen? My challenge is to make that someone a card and tell them! Virtual bonus points if you tell them WHY...
Loved this challenge because thanks to my Evernote categorizing, I discovered I had the perfect sentiment. Made this card for one of my BFF's who's been an incredible friend to me with her non judgmental listening.
I'm still practicing with watercoloring techniques and learned that the brush size, tip shape is the key to control and application.
This card makes me super happy because this Iris stamp (I have it in both PSX and Anna Griffin) has been my all time favorite flower stamp. After a decade of owning it, I finally used it. It was a no brainer, to make the flowers my favorite shade of blue.

How pretty! I love watercolor with white embossing, and you've executed it beautifully! Great sentiment, too... Thanks so much for playing in my challenge!
