I never seem to have certain cards on hand when I need them, you know what I mean? Thank yous, sympathy, birthday, are the usual ones I am scrambling to make at the last minute and I don't usually have the time to sit down and create as needed either. The other day I decided to fix this and make up some quick notecards for those "Oops, I need a card for this NOW!" occasions.
I cut my watercolor paper down to size and stamped the flower from Unity's Imperfection Is Beauty and sentiments from Everything Wonderful and then later I grabbed my watercolors and brush and painted them at the kitchen table while the kids did arts and crafts. I love pre-stamping images on watercolor paper for that reason because it doesn't take up much space and is a pretty portable project for my busy life.
Here are some closer looks.
I made 2 sets before I ran out of watercolor paper, one of which I'll be shipping to a friend in Australia! For hers I stamped some of the wonderful botanicals from the gorgeous Wildflowers and Wings SMAK kit by Unity onto the envelopes.
Happy Friday and
Friends with Flair at Unity! I wish you all an amazing and crafty weekend!
I am also entering this into the
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: All things bright and beautiful.
p.s. If any of you are on Instagram I finally just got around to starting an IG account and would love it if you would come by and follow my crafty endeavors. There is a giveaway in the works that I'll hopefully have organized by next Friday! Here is the link to my page:

your cards are love!
these are really fantastic, and now you are prepared!
Very nice set of cards to have on hand. Love that flower and all of the great sentiments for it. :)
What a cute idea! I tend to do the outside of the card with no sentiment and do the inside with a sentiment later.
