Lawn Fawn Mom + Me * Mother's Day Card

I was so inspired by Kristina Werner's card here, that I decided to do this with my Lawn Fawn Mom + Me Stamp set and make a Mother's Day card.     

Kristina did a video with masked ink blending and then used her Zig markers to color the image.   I basically followed her card but changed the images up.    I ended up using more blue (Chipped Sapphire) in mine because it looked nicer with the orange in the fox.   Orange and Blue are complementary colors and she has a video as well.   Check out this video for more on water color mixing but same can be applied to any color medium that will blend together. 

I used Bristol Smooth card stock which distress inks and Zig markers work very nicely on.    I cut out the heart image from some masking paper and then applied to my Bristol card stock.   I ink blended with Seedless Preserves, Chipped Sapphire, Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass.   In the end I used more Chipped Sapphire over the Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass.   I liked the look much better in the end. 

The fox was water colored with the Zig markers and the stump was stamped in MFT Hybrid Chocolate Brown ink and then colored over with Zig markers.      I white heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set.   Then I trimmed the panel down and placed it on an A2 card covered with some patterned paper wrapped in ribbon.    

I just love how it turned out.    Thanks Kristina for your inspiration!   

Hope you have a fantastic day!

Distress Ink Stamping Part Two - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Make it Colorful

Here is my second card sharing the same method of my prior post, except this is the first generation stamping the image and I save the second generation stamped image for another card.  This time I used Distress Inks of Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade and Gathered Twigs.    I spritzed water on the stamp after inking and then stamped the image on watercolor paper.   I then spritzed with water again and stamped a second image with the ink left over on the stamp.  I saved that for another card that I will share later.      I made this into a Mother's Day card with a sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp set called Best Mom Ever.

My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge - A Mother's Day Card

Hey everyone!   Hope you have had a great weekend.  I am sharing my card that I made, I only had an opportunity to make one this weekend.    I decided to do my Mother's Day card using MFT Birdie Brown You're Super.  I did get my new MFT items in from this month's release and got some really cute stamps sets that I cannot wait to ink up.   However, when I looked at this sketch I could only think of this stamp set to use.       I created Super Woman for my mom!   I also did something that I have not done in a long time, paper piecing.    I had colored her all up but was not satisfied with the colors and decided to go with the paper piecing as the papers matched exactly the way that I wanted.  

Stamps:  MFT BB You're Super, Simply Circles Background

Ink:  MFT Hybrid Black Licorice, Steel Grey, Versamark, SSS Fog

Papers:  MFT Nightshift Blue, Red Hot Red, Smooth white, Steel Blue, Echo Park Trend Setter
