A Touch of Sol

This is a card box I made for a Eve a friend of mine. She is actually my husband's Special Advisor...I should call her Dr. Sachs but it seems so formal...I learned how to make this card box from Dawn over at Stampin with Dawn She has videos for EVERYTHING. Later tonight or tomorrow I will show you an Explosion Card that I learned from that same site. This card box holds 4-6 cards depending on your embellishments. 

I made this beautiful card for my Mom, Abuela (grandmom), Renee (FAV SIL), and MIL...The technique is called Floating Re-Inker Watercolor Technique. YUP, found out from Gretchen Barron there is a name for it and I cased this from her...Hers is HUGE and different colors...This is my first time making it so I think I did a good job...I had a GREAT Birthday and Mother's Day. How about you? Although Joaquin is sick...We have a doctor's appt at 10:50am today and Solimar may have Asthma...
