Mother’s Day Card

by | May 11, 2013 | Uncategorized

Hi Friends!
Today I have a Mother’s Day card for you!  I used the stamp set Fabulous Florets, one I have to admit I have had for some time but have rarely used.  I used the Color Wash technique.  I embossed my flowers and then painted them with Whisper White craft ink.  After it dried, I used my Rich Razzleberry stamp pad and my Aqua Painter and finished coloring my flowers.  My sentiment looks crooked – that is driving me crazy – but in person it is straight.  🙂  It is hard to see in the photo but I also added some pearls in the center of each flower.  The stamp set I used, Wonderful Mother, is retiring so get it now if you like it!

I’m giving this card to my mom for Mother’s Day – I know she won’t see this post before I give it to her.   I have another Mother’s Day card that I will show tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Tracy

Oh, Hello

Hi Friends!
Today’s card is one that was inspired by a card I saw in Stampin! Success, a magazine for demonstrators.  It uses the Honeycomb embossing folder for the Big Shot which has become one of my favorite folders.  The stamp set I used is Oh, Hello.  I stamped the chevron pattern in Crumb Cake and used my Oval Framelits and Big Shot to cut it out.  To color the flower I used my Gumball Green and Elegant Eggplant Stampin’ Write markers and applied the color directly to the stamp.  It is such an easy way to get different colors on a stamped image.  I made a little bow with Linen Thread and adhered it with a two-way glue pen.  I used dimensionals to apply the honeycomb layer to my card base to give it extra dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s Your Birthday

Today’s card is another version of a card I made a few weeks ago.  You can see it HERE.    I made this card before I knew that Pretty in Pink was not going to be in the new catalog.  Purple is my favorite color and I really do like this combination.  We will have a new shade of pink in the new catalog so I will definitely need to see how one of my favorite colors, Elegant Eggplant, coordinates with it.  My button is from the Subtles collection.  Each of our collections of buttons will be changing with the new catalog because some colors are going away and different ones are being added into each family.  These are on the retiring accessories list.  Click here to see what is still available on the Accessories List!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  Hope you are having a terrific weekend!
