Shiny greetings

Crafting for my sanity... been a crazy summer, both good and bad, and I'm taking this morning for some craft therapy-- I don't even have the time to spare, but I truly need a few cards, so I can justify it!  I know you know what I mean! (I wrote that yesterday-- finally trying to post some stuff!)

This will go to a friend who needs some uplifting:


This image shows the ooh-ahh factor of the Magicals... 

Supplies:
  • Glitter base from DCWV Serenity stack
  • Metallic watercolor paper by DCWV colored with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals
  • Strathmore watercolor paper cut with my Cricut Explore Air 2 from a design I drew on my screen
  • Sentiment written with a medium Jane Davenport brush pen using DOx in Broken China and Cracked Pistachio
  • Gold sticker sentiments generic from the dollar store... Score!  I love these!

I'll share this with:
