CASOLOGY WEEK #368, PLANT

Hello my dear lovely crafty friends, how are you? I hope you're safe, healthy and good. #stayhomestaysafe.

Welcome back to another lovely challenge at CASology where the cue word is 'Plant'. Bloom or grow where you're planted, this was the quote inspired and encouraged me to start my crafty journey with absolutely nothing. Now I'm so thankful to our Lord God for everything that I have now. :)

Our sponsor for this challenge is Stamplorations. Join the challenge, have fun and don't forget to leave some love here and on my fellow DT blogs. Would love to receive a comment from you guys!

MY CARD MAKING DETAILS

It is a one layer card with Overlap Stamping Technique (watch video here). The stamp set and Inks used here are by Catherine Pooler Designs.

(I am a part of their affiliate program. This means that I receive a small commission when products are purchased through links I share here (at no additional cost to you). Kindly support me by clicking through these links when you shop. Thanks so much.)

• I started by stamping one of the leaves from Wild Garden stamp set with Tiki Torch, Tutti Frutti and Mardi Gras inks on the lower portion of the card base.
• Next I added splatters of black paint.
• Finally stamped the sentiment from Simply Stated stamp set.

For me everyday is Mother's Day, I usually don't celebrate only on that day, I celebrate everyday with my beloved mom. Do not be afraid to use bold colors and splatters on one layer card design. I hope you like the card and I hope you guys would join the fun. Thank you so much for visiting and I'll see you next time. :)

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!

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
