A great friend of mine, her MIL was really ill so I made her this card. She loves humming birds and thought how perfect this stamp (that I had for years but never used.)
Her MIL received the card, loved it... and she did end up passing away about a week later.

The bird is on with pop dots... Colored with Radient Pearls.

Oh Kim ... it's beautiful, I'm sure you brought such a smile to your friends mothers face in her time of need.

Beautiful, Kim.
Margaret - Radiant Pearls are a paint (which has been discontinued, I think...) from the same people who created Twinkling H2Os. They're very shimmery and have some sort of oil base. Won't dry on glossy but you can emboss them.

I have some twinkling H2O's ... do you girls have any pointers for using them, I just know I'm not doing everything I could with them.

THANKS PATTY, all of these things are new to me, only know about oils, acrylics and gouache kinda stuff. I'd never even heard of Twinkling H2o's until recently.
Bit behind with the times methinks.

Kim, your card is lovely. You are such a sweet soul for sharing a bit of happiness with this woman. I'm sure she was much appreciative of your gift. Sorry to hear that she has passed.

That is beautiful, Kimmie. Was that for De's MIL? I hadn't heard that she passed on, so sorry.
