Inspirational girl and flowers watercolor card.

This is an uplifting inspirational card.  It is great for support and encouragement for any time.
This is part of the Unity Stamp Co. 11th birthday celebration.
To celebrate further, we have an Insta Hop over on Instagram @neatnook so go take a look and hop along with us there.  Look for the birthday graphic for the hop details.

Sentiment:
You get to grow.  You get to change.  It's a really beautiful thing.

For this card, I used watercolor pencil blending for the girl and flowers.  Then, I made a die-cut frame to accent the stamping.  And, I used simple adhesive pearls for embellishment.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
