Stamp, Sponge, Brayer and a Water Color Video

Before I show you my next efforts I have a request to make. Please keep Kerry in your prayers. He is a 20 year old dance instructor who has stage 4 brain cancer. He is such a delight, but is really having a hard time. Also, pray for his mom who is his primary care giver. She is so tired and her heart is breaking that her youngest child is having to go through this.

Well this card needs much improvement, but I want to encourage all of you to try new techniques. The only way to learn is to try things out. This card has multiple techniques.
