Sending smiles

Happy Sunday everyone:

Last month my friend, Debbie Henderson, asked a few of her team members to participate in a swap and since I had never done that before, thought I would give it a try 😊and it was a lot of fun. We were to use a stamp set from the occasions catalog and love the Lift Me Up stamp set so had to use that one.

There were four ladies who participated and knew the sentiment would be perfect since we live apart.  I can't wait to get their cards.

Here is what I created for the swap.  I have really been on a distress ink blending kick lately and just loved putting these ink colors together.  The big balloon was die cut and painted by using ink and a watercolor brush.

I can't wait for another one.
