Hello There…and a Watercolored Thank You Card Too!

Hi - Jean Okimoto here - with a bright and easy card for you. Gears and mechanical objects aren't often described as happy - but these gears look quite happy to me. What do you think?

Bright, punched circles of cardstock are layered between a Gearworks Borders diecut from black and white cardstock. It's a quick card that would be perfect for a birthday, thank you, or graduation card too.

Brayer the water-spritzed Riviera inks onto slightly damp watercolor paper - tilt the paper if necessary to disperse any puddles of ink. It's that easy!
