I came across this set that I hadn't used yet and it had some nice sentiments that I thought would work at this time. I went with watercoloring the first one and then on the second one moving the arrangement around a little and coloring with my alcohol markers.
I used 140 lb. cold press paper w/Daniel Smith watercolors in the first card. I embossed the stamp first with Antique gold embossing powder. I scribbled some Spectrum Aqua marker onto my palette, and using my water brush I painted the color onto my background.

Altenew - Antique gold embossing powder
Spectrum Aqua pen for background
Spellbinders - Lattice Rectangle die
Craftaroo - clear gems
The bud in this set is a separate stamp so I changed it around but I do like it with the sentiment, I used the same marker that I used on the rose to color over the word Brighten.

I took the last few days to just have a break from my usual day to day work except for dishes, so now I need to get back in the swing of things, sometimes it is good to just take a break from everything.
Hope your week is off to a good start,
Hugs,
Connie

Hello Connie...I'm doing a little blog surfing...I haven't done that in such a long time. My poor blog has been neglected for quite some time. LOL.
It's so nice to see your blog is still very active. I love your cards, the flowers are so pretty and the sentiments are just perfect for right now! Hugs, Ivanka
Both your cards are really beautiful, Connie. Gold does add a touch of elegance, and I always love me a yellow rose!
Such thoughtful cards, you are so kind to think of others. I’m sure they were gratefully received. Both gorgeous frames dies too, lovely detail.
