Mother's Day

Hello there!  I'm happy to welcome you to my blog today.  Today's post is going to be short but sweet.  Sometimes I'm a procrastinator when it comes to making a card.  Let's say Mother's Day is coming up.  You keep meaning to sit down and make that card and well, you just don't.  Thankfully Polka Dot Orchard has come to the rescue with a super fabulous digital stamps set for Mother's Day.  The best thing is you can order it and get instant delivery since it is a digital stamp!  That's what I call instant gratification.  To make it even better, it's on SALE right now!  The set is called A Mother's Love.

Isn't it lovely!  So, like I said, I was in a bit of a hurry to get a card made.  This set is so beautiful on it's own that you really can make a card lickety split!  Let's look at the card and then I'll fill in some details.

I layered the image and the sentiment together in my editing program.  I lightened the mother image so that the sentiment would be more prominent.  I then printed it out onto watercolor paper.  Next I got out my lovely set of Prima Vintage Pastels watercolors and my Silver Black Velvet size 6 round brush.  I carefully went around the outside of the entire image with clean water. Then I came back and started dropping in the color called Breezy.  I deepened the shadows in a few places and called it done.  That's it.  That is all the coloring I'm doing for this image.  

Once it was dry, I cut it down to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2".  I wanted this to end up being a 5" x 7" card.  I cut a frame slightly larger out of a dark pink cardstock.  Then a floral piece of paper cut at 5" x 7".  I adhered all of the pieces to a Neenah Solar White card base using liquid glue.  I went over the word "mom" with a Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.  For a final bit of decoration, I added a few drops of Cloud 9 Nuve Dream drops.  A new favorite of mine!

I love when a stamp image is just so pretty that you don't have to do alot to end up with a gorgeous card.  Like I said, this was super quick to put together and I think it looks fabulous!  No one even has to know I made it last minute...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
