Watercolor Sympathy card

Today is the Celebration of Life for my brother-in-law who passed away July 20th. He struggled with health issues for the last few years and his body just gave up.

This card is for my sister on this difficult day.

The card base is SUSummer Starfruit in the A2 size with portrait orientation.

I trimmed the edge to leave a small border and ripped the bottom edge leaving the white edge showing.

I chose a blue strip of cardstock to coordinate.  

I cut a dove with my Sizzix Dove die from textured white cardstock. I painted it with pearl and the blue strip as well.  Adhered both to top part of the card.

I added a SU Modern Label punchie greeting in bottom right hand side.

Card Club - March - Shimmer Watercolors

We had a good time at card club last night. I wanted to offer the option of an Easter card if some of the girls wanted one. I chose this image with spring colors.
The central image is a color printed watercolor which has been shimmered with Perfect Pearls distributed with alcohol in a mister. The frame is created with 1" stripes of paper in coordinating colors. The girls had the option to stamp a "Happy Easter" greeting in a coordinating ink color on the horizontal strips.
