{SS} Watercolored Thank You

Good morning-
Today I want to share a gorgeous watercolored thank you card, that is perfect for ANY occasion.   With Thanksgiving being just a few days away, what better way to express your gratitude than with a handmade card.  SweetStamps has a HUGE selection (HERE) of stamps that are perfect for saying "Thank You", but I wanted to do it a little different this week.

For my card today, I am using the beautiful stamp "Blossom" with I stamped with distress embossing ink and Detail Pearl embossing Powder.  I used Peerless watercolors and a water brush to color my image.   My original plan was to stamp the "thank you" sentiment down at the bottom right corner, but it just didn't feel right.  So I took a chance and stamped the sentiment randomly around the image and heat embossed with the Pearl embossing Powder.  

Hope you have enjoyed my card today and I hope that you can join our "THANKS" challenge this week. You can link your card HERE

Hope you have a great weekend and I hope that you have a Happy Thanksgiving week and I will see you back here on Saturday.

 I would like to enter the following challenge(s): 
ALBC: CAS
Scrap It Girl: November Challenge: Water Colors

Hugs, 
Nazeema "Calypso" Thompson
