DANDELION WISHES

My post the other day told of my daughter having to go through a major operation - thankfully the operation was successful though not without its complications.  I think one of the hardest things a parent has to do is see their child ill no matter how old they are.

My daughter was still on my mind I think when I made this card.  I'm loving the Stampin Up Dandelion Wishes - its such an ethereal image and I keep playing around with ideas for it.  This is a one layer card which is unusual for me.  I had a play with some new Watercolour Pastels which I bought for a real bargain.  I used three of the colours of out the 24 pack and they look very similar to SU Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Basic Grey.  I used my aqua brush to merge the colours and simply stamped the dandelions in black over the top.  I add the sentiment in Bermuda Bay and had some teal and yellow thread in my stash.  The added pearls are non SU.

I'm adding this into a few challenges :

TGIF - #tgifc170 - Repeat stamping
As you See It #181 - Obsession - I'm a bit obsessed with this stamp set!
