EDS/HSD Awareness IG Hop - It's A Good Day To Be Happy with Graciellie Design

Hello and welcome!

Thanks so much to my crafty friend, Natasha Davies, who invited me to come along, I am participating in the EDS/HSD Awareness Instagram Hop!  Many of our crafty friends have joined together to help bring awareness to these disorders.  

EDS/HDS are a group of connective tissue disorders that often go undiagnosed and unvalidated.  Thank you for joining us in the effort to spread the word.

Lots of amazing sponsors are offering prizes:

so have some fun and help spread the word!  And enjoy all of the inspiration from the 

HAPPINESS theme!

For my card I used Graciellie Design's Think Positive Digital Stamp Set.

Here's a look at the set:

I printed the images on watercolor paper with my laser printer, then watercolored them with Kuretake water colors and Zen watercolor brushes.  I fussy cut them out and added them to a checked patterned paper from my stash that had been cut with a Pinkfresh Studio slimline die.

After arranging them on the panel I added it to two more slimline panels cut with the same die set.  Some of the fruit was adhered with glue and others with foam tape.  I added the sentiment strip from Simon Says Stamp with foam tape and then added lots of Nuvo Jewel drops in colors to match the fruit - thus making very "juicy" looking fruit!

Here's a closer look at my card:
