Happy Saturday! I'm sharing my last Mother's Day card for this year. Time start graduation and Father's Day cards. (Where does the time go?!?)
I used my Simon Says Stamp Artful Flowers and watercolored with Abandoned Coral Distress Ink on Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper. First I stamped the outline stamps, then inked the solid stamp, spritzed with water and stamped. I used a waterbrush to fill in some of the spots. For the stems I inked up the outline stamps and just used the waterbrush to fill them in. So fun!
The watercolor panel was die cut with (yes, again!) SSS Stitched Rectangles, as was the coral base around it. The coral panel was adhered flat to the card base. I used fun foam to pop up the watercolor panel. Three Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins were added to the flower centers and I added a bow made with May Arts Twine to "tie" the flowers together. The sentiment from Best Mom Ever was white heat embossed on vellum.
I will enter this card into these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Don't Abandon the Coral
Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #18 - Mother's Day, flowers or both!
Craft Stamper: Take It Make It Challenge: May - Take a Stamp Anything Goes
I hope everyone has a lovely Mother's Day. Enjoy!
