W2SB - Gratitude & Kindness

I'm here with a card I finally got around to making for the W2SB challenge which, this month, is Gratitude and Kindness.  I had this image colored for eons so I pulled it out and then had the bright idea to do a background for it.  My image was done on watercolor paper so I decided to use some Sparkling H2O-S for the background as well as a Sharpie White Pen and a Copic Marker.   I'm not happy with how it came out, but I'm going to have to live with it because the end of the month is coming fast and I really wanted to be able to enter a card into this challenge.  I love to play along with W2SB but was not able to for the last 4 months, so I desperately wanted to start again this month.


I already stopped by W2SB and saw all the entries and the DT's card and they are all fabulous, so why don't you take a minute to stop over there and hopefully you'll join in on the fun.  

I think this is a retired SU! image, but to tell you the truth I don't know for sure.  The papers and card stock are by SU! and the sentiment is by Gina K Designs.  The small flower was made with a MS punch and I added a pearl drop for the center.  As you can see I rounded the corners on the top just for a different look.  

I'm wishing you all a great day today and want to thank you for taking the time to visit.

    And, it is always good to see one of your cards. Think you're being a bit too hard on yourself. Your image is lovely, and the design is perfect to showcase this pretty flower.

  3. How pretty!!! I love your creative background work, and yes - that's definitely a retired SU! image! It's called Bloomin' Beautiful and I regret not buying it while it was available! I just love that tiny flower accent on the sentiment panel that finishes this card up perfectly!
    Enjoy your family and time spent cooking this weekend! I know you're happy to get back into the swing of things after leaving all that sickness behind (finally!)
