Welcome to Rubeena’s Crafting Anniversary 2-Day Blog Hop! This hop is epic with more than 60 guests and over $600 in sponsored prizes! Not only are we celebrating four years since Rubeena first discovered cardmaking but also crafting in general. This industry is made up of wonderful individuals who are creative, inspirational, kind, and incredibly supportive! Hop along so you can learn about why we create and how much joy it brings us! For details on day one of the hop, you can visit this post. You should have arrived from Rowena Miniaci - Next stop is Laurel Beard.
For my card today I took my inspiration directly from the hostess herself. I find I always love Ruby's watercolor florals so much and tried to capture that here. The background is done with Lunar Black from Daniel Smith watercolors and the focal image is from Pink Fresh Studio (who is also a sponsor!) also water-colored with Daniel Smith paints.
