Well Wishes
The 
Flourishes team has joined Gina K for her Make a Wish fundraiser. Do you know about Gina K and her Stamps for a Cause? For every stamp set sold, $7.00 is donated to the cause for which it was created. You can read all about this Make a Wish set here. You’ll get a look at the entire set and see some of the wonderful work of her own design team. If you look in my sidebar to the right you’ll find a list of the Flourishes designers. When you click on their names you’ll find even more Make a Wish examples.
I chose the wishing well for my card today because I was in need of a get well card for a friend. There are several sentiments with this set and those, alone, make it a keeper for me but the images are cute, too. The patterns of this BasicGrey Infuse paper, available at Flourishes, were just what I needed to complete the cozy, comfortable, country feel of this card. I stamped the main image on watercolor paper with Timber Brown Stazon and painted it with my Stampin’ Up! inks.
I hope you’ll enjoy a look around at the links I’ve provided. Have a wonderful day!

Such a sweet, soothing card, Leslie. This is my favorite one, yet, that I’ve seen made with this set. I just got it last week - love the sentiments from it.
WOW I think this is probably the best card I’ve seen done with this stamp — just Beautiful!
I’m going to have to second Sherry! This is awesome! Love everything you did with it! Flourishes is SO lucky to have you! You rock, Girl!
Totally awesome card…just beautiful! Thanks for sharing
So, so beautiful! I just love how you’ve done the shading around the image. It’s a really beautiful card Leslie!
OH my gosh — your wishing well is unreal — I mean *so real* — it is just fabulous!!! What a wonderful card!!! I need to study your watercoloring and get some pointers — still!!!!
Gorgeous!! Your colouring is beautiful!
Your work is inspiring as well as beautiful. Your tutorials very giving. Sites like yours are very important to the “little” stampers like me who don’t have the time (or money — or maybe the talent) to delve into stamping as you have. That does not mean the likes of me don’t love looking at your work and reading about how you do it. Most blogs have too much *winking* in them for my taste which is one thing I like about yours . . . and Paperlicious’.
Which brings me to my point. I see you’ve left her comments and are a suggested link on her blog. Does that mean you might be willing to pass my name along to Joan if she starts another blog for invitees only? I stumbled on hers on August 20. What terrible timing. I have ignored all the nonsense going on but now see it has taken a drastic turn which may cause me to lose a wonderful destination before I had a chance to really enjoy it. (Lunch time is my only access!) I would really appreciate it.
Thank you for taking time to read this.
Georgous!
This card is so beautiful! Your watercoloring is amazing, and the colors are just gorgeous! A wonderful creation!
Oh my gosh! Sherry, Kirsten and then me; this is so beautiful! You are just so, so talented! Thank you for taking the time to blog and wow us all; the best kind of ” blog candy” anywhere.
So pretty Leslie!! I love your combination of papers and the primas are the perfect touch!
Unbelievable card. I would never put this card away. I would frame it. Your watercoloring is truly a gift.
This is so beautiful! I love your watercoloring, and the layout is wonderful. This card would definitely be a keeper!
Stunning! Positively stunning!
Just as delightful as can be! Beautifully created! Deb
Your coloring on this is so amazing, Leslie!! Gorgeous card, and so perfect for your friend!
What a lovely, charming card! Superb layering of those pretty Infuse papers, and your watercoloring is wonderful. Love the primas. Linda
Great watercoloring, and love how it’s paired up with that yummy Infuse!!!
Yes, cozy, comfortable, country and beautiful!! This will surely put a smile on your friend’s face!
Leslie, I just love your new wishing well set and sentiment and the gorgeous BG Infusion DP. The prima and ribbon are perfect too. TFS
I LOVE this card. You did such a great jop with this stamp. I keep coming by to look at it over and over again!
