Spread Joy Not Germs BLOG HOP

Hi there and welcome to the "Spread Joy, Not Germs" blog HOP.

There's a GIVEAWAY here on my blog too 
sponsored by The Rabbit Hole Designs, LLC (read below)

I am joining in on the fun of sharing JOY and FUN!
We could all use some more joy.  
Whether you are working an essential job (THANK YOU SO MUCH) 
or staying home, we are all in this fight together! 


I am sharing a card I made with 
An anchor is a symbol of strength and grounding.
I'll send this to someone so they know I'll be there for them.
I hope everyone has a person or place that helps them feel grounded during these unprecedented times.  


I stamped the image with embossing ink on watercolor paper and then embossed the image with white embossing powder.   
I used my inks with a water brush and colored my image.
I don't watercolor much at all.  I was very pleased with the result.  
 I added twine and gems.










There are LOTS of prizes from many GREAT sponsors (31!!) 
so comment as much as your fingers will let you!
