More cards for my stash

We have two little girls coming into our family this spring. That means lots of pink, purple, and presents! Of course, I couldn't settle for just a pink card. I had to bust out the watercolors, punches, and brads to make my plain ol' paper into something baby–worthy. Matte medium swirled onto watercolored card stock makes a fabulous texture. It also makes card stock look like a million bucks.

I discovered that my best cards are unplanned. I have to just play and then assemble. I really enjoyed this week. Next week, I'll be knee–deep in the upholstery project I put aside. Can't wait!

Thanks!
