Popping in to share a pretty card today. This is a 4x6 card. I used to make a lot more cards this size, but these days normally go with a more conventional size.
I actually got boxed into the size when I watercolored the background. I was originally thinking I might trim it down some more, but I like the 'frame' of white space around the watercoloring so went with it.
The doily image on the right was created by laying down a real doily and lightly inking over it with some soft stone ink.
I die cut two happys from watercolor cardstock, watercolored one and left one plain, adhered them to one another slightly offset, and then adhered the entire piece to the card.
The secondary sentiment is from a PTI set, and I added a few sequins for some extra sparkle/texture.
It's Anything Goes week at Simon Says Stamp, so I'm going to link this up over there.
