HAPPYwishes Arturo Style

I recently purchased from Ellen Hutson an assortment of Arturo note cards and matching envelopes. They are a lovely soft watercolor card, similar in feel to Fabriano-Medioevalis stationery. However, these come in colors! On a scale of 1 - 10, these are an 11! This paper is so elegant, it is just perfect for a wedding or other special occasion. In this case, I gave this card to a co-worker who just announced her pregnancy. Of all the Arturo colors, this particular one -- Buttercream -- is my favorite. Luscious. Thank you Ellen for finding this stationery! How I made this card: The finished size of this card is about 3.5" x 5.5". The word "happy" is from the Happy Everything set by Clearly Wordsworth, and "wishes" is from Paper Tray from Papertreyink. I stamped both with Stewart Superior's Pallette Hybrid Ink in Noir Black (also purchased from Ellen!), and colored in "happy" with Real Red and a Ballet Blue Stampin Up markers. (In this case, I think coloring in the lines worked!) I punched a 1" circle from the same paper and finished the card with a Stampin Up Real Red brad and ribbon.
