Through my eyes – a special card
How do you see the world? In many things in life, I find that if I look at things without prejudice or stop thinking of what I think it should be, only then do I truly see. Sometimes you have to be still. Like people, these Hydrangeas aren’t just one color, but a spectrum of…

A Card of Encouragement
Create your own path. Even when I try different types of cards, I’m just not as satisfied unless I have either a Copic colored or watercolor element combined with something elegant.
