Hey there… half way through my Growing in Unity week! Phew! Okay, on this card, I married a bunch of stuff from Unity! I used the Have Courage stamp set, Trust it Will Be Okay sentiment kit, and the Blossom Avenue paper pack. Again, I started with watercolor paper, my pan set and a paper from the pack. I then stamped the images using Antique Linen oxide ink. I proceeded to try to recreate colors from the paper and started watercoloring! I tried to match the watercolor style to the paper with a little more detail. I even thought about adding the white script over the top and then pulled myself back from the edge of.. whatever 🤪!
I then fussy the flower images. To create the card, cut down another paper from the pack and used cream paper to back both papers. I added green twine for some reason… who knows why!
I then stamped and clear embossed the sentiment and backed it with matching plain paper. Since it was so busy, I stopped there!
Welp… what a different style for me…but I kinda love it! I actually was thinking of a couple ladies undergoing significant health issues when I created this card. I hope you like this one! Remember to comment below for a chance to win Unity store credit!
Love the vintage look and the beautiful watercoloring! The someone receiving it will be touched.

I was called Joycie by my father and my last name then began with an L. I made a card in grade school that I signed my name with “Joyc”, then on next line “e L.” …so my Dad started calling me JoyceLperiod. So it’s a tribute to him! My middle name is Alma after ny grandma! Thank you, fellow Joyce
