hugs for you by karen

Hello! It's Karen Aicken here from Painted Mountain Cards and today I'm sharing a pretty floral card that would be great to send out for Happy Mail. The Radiance stamp set is lovely, and after heat embossing it with a glittery embossing powder, I added colour with Karin Water Color Markers and a water brush. Once it was dry, the main orange blooms got some shimmer with a Wink of Stella pen.

To add the pattern to the vase, I used Heffy Doodle's Wonderfully Woven stencil, which is available in the Crafty Meraki shop.

I'm such a fun of the Shadow Word dies by Crafty Meraki so here I used the Hugs, but only the script portion and not the outline and shadow. The words For You come included in the Radiance stamp set and were stamped in orange ink.

Inside, I stamped the top portion of the Radiance stamp along the bottom and top edge of the inner panel, then went over the outer edge with a water brush. This bled and softened the colour a little but there is plenty of room to write a note.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
