2015 Mothers Day Cards

I made cards for the Moms I have in my life! Thought I'd share them with you, even though I don't have step by step instructions. They are pretty basic cards anyway. Hopefully, you may get a little  inspiration from them.

1st card

The above card was made for my lovely Mom. I used spellbinders rectangle dies and a die from My Creative for the flowers. The foliage was made with a punch from Fiskars. The stamp is a old favorite of mine, it's a single wood block stamp. I just love the fourishy font!

2nd card

This card was made for my wonderful Mom in Law. I used a beautiful wood stamp with a humming bird and flowers from INKADINKADO. I stamped it with a very light gray stamp pad, so the lines would be very faint. I  then watercolored it with my Tim Holtz distress markers. I cut and layered it with Spellbinders Labels Ten dies. it's difficult to see but I used a glitter cardstock for the bottom layer. I used glossy accents to make little water droplets on the flowers. The foliage on the card was the same punch from Fiskars. The stamped greeting and tag is from My Creative Time. 

3rd card

This card was for my sweet daughter. I seldom use this color combination but I really liked it once I got everything put together! All the dies and stamps I used were from My Creative Time. I first embossed the ovals with a 6X6 butterfly folder. Then the heads of the flowers were watercolored with abandoned coral ink and the leaves with mowed lawn ink. The center of the flowers were colored with gathered twigs ink, then I applied Glossy Accents over it.
