That said, I had a bit of a set back and have been experiencing a lot of pain. I am now confining myself to rest for the next couple of days. Just when I think I am feeling better too!!
Today I wanted to shared two cards I created using the Pinterest Inspired Challenge image for October. The light colors screamed sympathy cards to me so I created two.
The first one is very simple. I used distress inks to stamp the flowers and leaves in Shaded Lilac and Pumice Stone. I inked up the stamp, misted it with water and then stamped it on the watercolor paper. When the images dried, I stamped the sentiment and die cut the panel.
I then mounted the panel on gray card stock and added some clear rhinestones.
Here is the inspiration image:
The second card I created I got a bit more adventurous for me.
Again I used Distress ink in the same two colors and stamped the images randomly over the entire panel of water color paper. I let the images dry and then shook mist on in silver and Shaded Lilac. I wanted to mute the stamped images a bit so I die cut a piece of vellum and layered it over the card front.
I then created a silver thread nest, added a sentiment and a few sequins from my stash. I love these pretty colors together, don't you?
I thank you for stopping by today! Have a wonderful weekend!!

I love the softness of your watercolour cards Nora. The first one is so pretty and is up my CAS design loving street, and the vellum on the second one adds just the right amount of mistiness to the card.
I'm sorry you are in pain again and hope the rest will be beneficial. I'm still under the weather myself so haven't been around as much as I'd like.
Look after yourself
