"Thinking of You" By Laurel Beard!

Hello bloggers! It is not looking so pretty outside here in Ohio today! I'm hoping you all have better weather- but if it's similar weather I'm sending thoughts of warm drinks and comfy blankets to you!

Now- let me share with you a stunning card from Laurel Beard! Laurel's excitement for this industry is so contagious, and I encourage you to check out her blog for plenty of inspiration projects and tips!

 Laurel explains she created this card as a "thinking of you" card, and that "thinking of you" is such a good theme to make for those times you just feel like making some cards. When there's no specific purpose- a "thinking of you" card can be created for fun and used later for many different occasions!

On the butterfly, Laurel heat embossed it and used a waterbrush and Distress Inks to color it in. For some extra super-shine, she used Perfect Pearls pigment powder on top!

Supplies used:
