A friend of mine recently shared that she's been struggling with depression for the last couple of months, and I wanted to make a card for her to let her know I'm praying for her.
I stamped one of the floral stamps from Altenew's Nature's Magic Build A Garden set, and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I colored the flowers with my Ohuhu alcohol markers. Then I chose some watercolor brush markers and added some splatters to the bottom right section of the card. I stamped "praying for you" (from Altenew's Grand Carnations) in the top left and adhered the floral focal point over the watercolor splatters. I hope the pretty pinks will lift my friend's spirits.
