For the first card, I used the current card sketch at Frosted Designs. I am also linking up with the current stamp and die cut challenge at Cooking With Cricut, which is to make a Mother's Day card using a stamp or manual die. Since "all" I have for die cutting is a Cricut, I used a stamp. This stamp is from an older Stampin Up set. I stamped it in Archival ink and then colored it with watercolor pencils. I went over the coloring with a water pen to blend the colors.
I used an embossing folder to make the frame on this one and then inked the raised part with a few different colors of ink to make it stand out.
I used my Cricut a lot for this one. The background and sentiment were cut using the "Cindy Loo" cartridge, and the butterfly is from the Sentimentals cartridge. I wanted to add a little something to the tone on tone background so I went over some of the flowers with Moonlight Smooch ink.
There you have it, I have cards for my mom, mother-in-law and two grandmas (I made two of the first design). I hope all the mothers out there have a great day tomorrow!
Hi Jessica, this is gorgeous and your colours are just lovely. I am entering one in this but mum passed away in November so it is hard to do...God has made her our Angel...have joined your blog as like what I see. ♥
