You Color My World




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 :)

  14. What a sweet way to use up some of those precious art works that tend to accumulate on the fridge door! Grandparents and aunties would love these sweet cards. A nice way to personalize thank you notes for teachers, bus drivers and other helpful folk.
    Thanks for sharing! :)
