Thinking of you

While checking out my friend Greta's blog, I came across a new to me blog, and decided to play along.
The prompt at Addicted to Stamps and More is:


I got out my Sakura water-colors and played.  Since it is snowing here in Maryland tonight, I was moved to create a winter themed card.

Two Simon Says Stamp sets - Hand Lettered Winter Wishes and Cute Snowflakes

This one is going to my Dad, I try to send him a card 2-3 times a month.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Edited to add: I am also linking this up over at Jenn Shurkus' Coolest Card Series - Watercolor (thanks Becca )
