Mother's Day

Meet today's card.

With Mother's Day quickly approaching, I wanted to create a Springtime card.

Playing with some new stamps from Penny Black.

I began by masking the edges of my watercolour paper, then placed my paper inside my Misti to stamp the Penny Black  Full of Glee flowers randomly with Archival ink.  I tried to stamp them around the outside edge of my card so I would have some white space left in the background.  

Next, I loosely watercoloured the flowers using my Zigs and let dry.

I stamped the sentiment from the Special Thoughts set using my Misti and clear heat embossed it.

I wanted to give my card a sunny feel, so I inked around the edges with yellow Distress ink and went in and did some stenciling with my drywall tape.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you great MOMS out there.  It is such a special day!

I lost my Mom years ago but wanted to make a special card for my MIL that was pink and pretty.  So, I inked up my embossing folder with Distress inks in these colours, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry, sprayed with water then pressed my paper into the wet ink.  It made the perfect background for my tag and my rolled roses.  

The tag was die cut, stamped, then I sponged on some Worn Lipstick before removing it from the Die-namics die.  The roses are also from Die-namics and are so easy to make.  Wasn't sure how I wanted to add a bow so instead added some dark pink jute that I looped under the flowers and the leaves.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there!  

Here is a card I made for my MIL using stamps from Penny Black.  Since she has macular degeneration and has trouble seeing colours, I created this card with a black and white background so she can hopefully see the flower design.  This stamp is a square so I knew it would not cover the whole card front, so I tried to think of a way to use it to cover all.  By stamping it on an angle, I was able to achieve an interesting and different back drop for the banner and the orange flowers.  

The flowers are cut and coloured and pieced from that same stamp.

Whatever you do today, I hope it's a great day filled with happy times and wonderful memories.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look!
