Dawn McVey is an artist/designer for Papertrey Ink, and she just seems like such a lovely person from her blog.

She recently had a small intestine transplant, and Papertrey Ink had a We Love Dawn Blog Hop over the weekend. I must have misread the deadline, I thought it continued for another day or two. ALAS, I seem to have missed the chance to link up to the hop.

Dawn loves bright colors, so I watercolored a background, and then embossed foliage in silver pearl embossing powder. I was thinking I would add sequins or jewels, but I tried several different combinations, and it was all just too much. It was just fine with watercoloring and embossing.

I already have this addressed and in the mail to Dawn.

Edited 2:40pm – OH! I see the link up is active again!  YAY!
