PTI:Beautiful Blessings

I really {heart} this set. It is so elegant!
I made this card for my Aunt who was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. She had a successful operation last week and is returning home. I have to send down this hand written note from my daughter, Victoria. She drew this photo and wrote in her big second grade handwriting "Aunt Susie - get well soon - You are a Rock star - really you are! I love you! (she almost sounds a little like Randy Jackson - except she didn't throw in Dawg!)

On to the card:

Someone commented on my last papertrey ink card - wondering if I was joking if Nichole was my BFF. Um - just ask Mish Wooderson. She will give you the heads up! {smile}

I used a Fabriano notecard. These italian note cards are just wonderful for stamping. They are so elegant! I {heart} them! The cross is stamped with class ink (close to cocoa) and then I watercolored with the lid of the pad. It creates a light wash - leave some white space. Then go back over the area in spots to darken the image. I used a mellow moss wash around the cross. Then I paper pierced around the image - I saw this technique several places lately -- Lauren (Rockstar) Meader has been showcasing this lately on her creations. The sentiment is also close to cocoa. The ribbon is May Arts (starlitstudio). Very elegant -- love this. My BFF Nichole has a way with the stampin' world - she is amazing!!! What do you think? I hope Aunt Suzie loves it --

Your creation is so lovely. I just made a bunch with Everyday Blessings and just can't get enough of it. I'll have to try this technique.

I am off to ask Mish!

This is one of the most beautiful cards! I absolutely love this new PTI set, and I'm using it as a pattern for my Easter card to my sister. Thanks!
