I used my Zig wc brush markers in pastel shades to color & for splatters. Wonderful Words: Love die was cut from gray cardstock with a shadow of the wc paper & tiny pearls outlining the heart. The white embossed sentiment is from Counting My Blessings. I love sending cards to my blogging friends, so this one will be mailed soon. I'm also entering at Word Art Wednesday & SSS Wednesday.
We had great weather at the bay off the Oregon coast--actually more sun than was at home according to our neighbors. I'll be catching up on my blog reading as soon as I can & I know the hop is full of inspiration--enjoy!
Beautiful take on the inspiration photo!
