Finished the 3 art cards for the 3 ladies I know having hip replacement surgery this Summer. Each word was chosen for a specific person.

I included some progress photos, so you can see how I started with a single sheet of watercolor paper, drew the design, couple layers of watercolor, then used an ATC (artist trading card) template to decide where to cut the art cards. Used a metallic gold paint pen and fine liner pens (Micron 08, 02, 005) for details.

I meant to spray the cards with a fixative, but had a huge headache at the time and grabbed the spray varnish can by mistake. Turned out fine. Added the punched letter words last.
