Watercolor Hop

I wasn't sure if I'd have time to make something for the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Bloghop, but in spite of a headache (maybe from allergies to the flowers?), I got busy last night after getting home from an out of town wedding. My colors were inspired from some of the flowers from the wedding. I made this card for my cousin who is getting married this coming weekend.

Funny how a picture can inspire one thing and we end up with something different.  I wanted to try some foiling on this card, but I failed and did the white embossing for the sentiment instead. I then had to cover up my sloppy embossing (don't look too close!) by outlining the sentiment with Seedless Preserves Distress Pen. I think my rescue attempt worked out pretty well! I often learn new techniques when I have to rescue my creations :-)

I used this sketch from Cardabilities
