Leave it to Dina to come up with a new medium...coffee. I've been busy learning many, many new things about water coloring from the online class for intermediate painting this week. It is a wonderful class filled with a great amount of information. This week our family lost a young dear friend, my way of coping was to make a card for her Mother. Started my stamping the flower with so saffron...coloring with the coffee, and adding watercolors, along with the leaves. Added the sentiment. Thanks for looking, and remember to hug that precious friend or family member this week. Life is precious.

Oh, Linda, I'm so sorry for this young family member who was lost! It surely has left a hole in many people's lives, no less the family. They will find great comfort and tears in this card. The words are so beautiful. And your card is amazing. I love the technique and the beautiful shape and color of this flower. It's stunning! Thanks for touching our lives as well, as we cherish those who are dear to us both family and friends. It's one of the reasons I so love SCS! Warm hugs, dear friend!

A lovely card, the colouring with the mix of coffee and watercolours turned out beautifully. The sentiment is beautiful, I'm sorry you faced a situation where you needed to use it.
