Flowers For Mom

Hello!

Today I am sharing a card I made for my mother-in-law.

She loves flowers so I know she would love to receive this 

in the mail.

This pattern paper is from the  7 Gypsies Architextures 8"x 8" Paper Pad. 

This is a great paper pad that is very versitile - it has papers that masculine and some that are feminine.

The Flower Jar die set from Sizzix created the perfect focal point embellishment

 for the front of my card.

I added some extra texture to my card with gesso, paint and molding paste.

You can see the step-by-step details by watching the video I posted at the end of this post.

Botanical Card

Welcome to my blog!

Today I am sharing a card that was selected to be published in the current issue

of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. I was thrilled as this was the first time

I had a project published in this amazing magazine.

I was inspired by the Tim Holtz Botanical Sketch stamp from Stampers Anonymous.

I started with a piece of cold-pressed watercolour paper that was larger than my stamp.

I stamped and embossed my image with clear, fine detail embossing powder.
Before I moved on to next step I tore post it note into a rough circle to mask off the centre.

Next I took my Color Burst Pigments from Ken Oliver and sprinkled these over the embossed image.

A few sprites of water and the pigments burst to life. I love this!

I removed the mask and used a watercolour brush to fill in the centre with Yellow Ochre Color Burst.

I dried the background with my heat tool before stamping 'Mom' on to the front the card.
