Hello and welcome to my blog, it's Gaylynn. Watercolor card making is something I enjoy and want to do more of. is something I enjoy and want to do more of. Today, I am sharing a lovely floral journal-themed card that was stamped and given a vintage look. The sentiment can be used for lots of occasions like birthdays, support, get well, thinking of you or just because. The products featured are from the Love & Gentle Days stamp set. I have included the project steps, a video and supplies below. As always, use what you have to make similar projects or cards.
