Floating Watercolor Pansies-Stamping 411 SSC 258

Here’s my contribution to this week’s Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #258.

Floating Watercolor Pansies inspired by the Johnny Jump Ups that are growing in a container on my front porch. It had been a particularly rough morning as I had a slight meltdown (my poor husband!) when I couldn’t lay my hands on a certain insurance form we needed to finish filing the insurance claim for our garage fire.  Long story short, later as I was watering the containers, I spotted this pretty face and had to take a picture to share with you.  It brought a much-needed smile!

Floating Watercolor Pansies are so easy to create.

Here is the original sketch:

I really like this sketch.  Sketch instructions said to make the card base 4 1/2″ square.  I made mine 4 1/4″ square so it would easily fit in a regular invitation-sized envelope.
