Parker and I were playing with watercolors the other day. I decided that I would cut his painting and emboss it so that I could make cards for his grandparents. I adhered them to plain cardstock from Papertrey Ink. It is the best heavy weight cardstock available! I think each card is so beautiful as is, it will be quite lovely with a simple sentiment too. Perhaps I'll punch a couple of scalloped circles and stamp
"for you" or something. I guess I'll decide once I'm ready to mail his art :)
Adorable,Jennifer! A fabulous idea to preserve the kiddos art work. Thanks for sharing :)
