Mother’s Day Inspiration Week- Day 3

Hi crafty friends! It’s Mona here, today I am sharing with you a lovely card scene with floral basket and birds for Mother’s Day.

For this project I have used the Spring Robins, the Floral Corners, the Tropical Toucans and the Simple Sentiments stamp sets. I will also use the Easter Basket and the Mom/Mother Scripts die sets as well as the Nature Essentials die sets.

I stamped the images with alcohol friendly inkpad and colored the images with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. I have used the following colors: PP1, MG2, MG3, PL1, PL2, PL3, CT1, CT2, CT3, GY3, TN3, TN5, TN6, TN8, FS8, FS7, FS6, CG2, AG2, AG3, BT1, BT2, BT3, BT4, BT5, BG1, BG2, BG3, BG4, Blender, as well as CG05, TN05, BG05, PL05, MG05 from the Classique’s. You can watch the coloring process in the video. After the coloring I added white highlights with white pen and pencil.

Next, I created this basket with the Easter Basket die from a wood textured cardstock. I have also created a couple die cuts from white cardstock with the MOM script die, and adhered them together with liquid adhesive to have a heavy chipboard looking sentiment. I have also created green grass with the Nature Essentials dies.

The following step was to create the background, so I made a blue-violet gradient ink blending with Shaded Lilac, Peacock Feathers and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks. I have also made a quick ink blending on the grass die-cut with the same Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink.

When it was done, I stamped the “grateful for you” sentiment from the Simple Sentiments set with watermark ink to a piece of pink cardstock. Then I heat embossed it with white detailed embossing powder and cut it to the right size.

In the end I put my card together and the result is this cute and bright card with a touch of spring which is a perfect card for Mother’s Day. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs, Mona.
