I used the new Make a Wish stamp set on my project. My card base is made from watercolor paper. After making some loose watercolor brushstrokes, I simply stamped the sentiment in black. I am head over heels in love with these hand lettered sentiments. Did you read about the artist, Paulina, who designed them for Mama Elephant? She is amazing!

Again I look forward to you blog post. I fell in love with mama elephant after seeing your designs.
I love your cards. I just have a quick question. I tried using the same watercolor set you have, but I get a chalky feel and the color rubs off on my fingers, do you find this as well?
Thanks for your help!!!
Love the card! Looks doable.
