MOTHER'S DAY CARD | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE | VIDEO

Mother's Day is just coming and Spring has sprung almost everywhere! So I clubbed both the themes and made a card for my Mom! I celebrate Mother's Day everyday, the sentiment says it all :) My card features Swan Bigz Die and Garden Florals Thinlit Dies by Sizzix Lifestyle. I was inspired by The Ugly Duckling story, it was my favourite since I was a kid. I love how the creators put those expressions on the little Swan and mom Swan faces. Heart touching!! This story always make me cry!

• Swan Bigz Die
• Garden Florals Thinlit Dies
• Big Shot Plus Machine

HOW I MADE THIS CARD

• I started making my card by folding the card stock which is not a regular sized one, it's a kind of big card
• I trimmed another panel smaller than the main card base. Both are heavy weight in white
• Next I die-cut the Swan Bigz Die followed by Garden Florals Thinlit Dies through the Big Shot Plus Machine out of the same heavy weight card stock in white
• Next I placed my Craft Mat over my work surface and water colored all the die-cuts with Distress Inks (flowers - Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Spiced Marmalade and Peeled Paint / Swan - Antique Linen, Black Soot)
• I water colored the smaller panel also with Spun Sugar
• I gold foiled one of the Swan's wings by Clearsnap
• I doodled a bit on Swan's nose with Copic and black permanent markers
• Finally adhered everything together with Tacky Glue and finished the card with a sentiment from Altenew - Best Mom

WATERCOLOR FLORAL CARD | ALTENEW

I'm getting back to my good old times again where I write down all the interesting challenges, make a card according to the theme, submit the project and wait for all the beautiful comments. I really love and miss those days! :)

My card features Best Mom and Adore You stamp sets by Altenew. I tried No Line Water Coloring with Camlin Brush Pens. What do you think about my card? Special thanks to Sindhu Prajay for the beautiful stamps! :)

HOW I MADE THIS CARD

• I started by stamping the floral image on a heavy card stock in London Fog Ink Momento
• I tried No Line Water Coloring with Camlin Kokuyo Brush Pens, these are water based
• Then I fussy cut the image with a pair of scissors
• I took a card panel smaller than the main card base and I did some loose water coloring in the background with the same markers in pink and also added splatters of pink and purple inks
• Once everything is dry I went ahead and adhered the floral panel at an angle on the smaller panel
• Next stamped the sentiment from Adore You stamp set in Archival Jet Black Ink
• And finally embellished the card with white sequins.
