Mother's Day Card | Pinterest Inspired

Wohoo! Finally I was able to do something that my heart desires. I always wanted to be a water color artist but I don't have or lack the ability to water color. This is not my own design. I saw a few images on Pinterest, loved them, pinned them and just tried one of those images. You can find the inspiration pic HERE  :) The illustration was by Magrikie, you can find their gorgeous work HERE. 

I used Koi Water Colors to paint images. I kept the inspiration image in front of me and drew the same with a slight changes. It took me less than 20 mins to complete this art work. By the way, the water color paper I used was Canson Montval 300 GSM. 

I added splatters of black paint to enhance the look of the design and finished it off by stamping the sentiments from Mudra. My hubby was standing behind me while I was painting, he was so happy and liked it very much. I am happy too with the result :D 

I will come up with the cards like this in future, making this type of cards is so therapeutic :) May be one day I will come up with my own designs :D

To a cool friend | Lawn Fawn

This cute little birdie really can't stand the summer heat so she is sitting on the top of the car enjoying the breeze, holding balloons in her hand and going to visit her cool friend for an Outstanding Occasion :)

I started by stamping all the images from Dream (yep! I turned the feathers into trees), Home for Holidays (Car) and Year Four (birdie and balloons) in Catherine Pooler's Midnight Ink. I water colored all the images with Koi Water Colors. I fussy cut the images and kept aside.

I took a white card stock, ink blended the background with Vintage Photo (ground) and Broken China (sky) distress inks and also added splatters of water for some texture. Next stamped the sentiment from Toboggan Together on a strip of white card stock with Midnight Ink and adhered all the images on my card with Tombow Glue and Foam Tape.

Entering this card for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #3 - Outstanding Occasions. Thank you :)
