The Card Concept: Happy Mother's Day

 

Welcome friends! It's time for a new challenge at the Card Concept, and the photo 

inspiration below is a favorite!

Don't you just want to enjoy sitting at this table! I was inspired by the transferware

pot, the crisp blue and clear white, and the gorgeous blooms to create my 

Clean and Layered card.

My unforgettable, and awfully missed mom is in heaven, but I created a Thinking

of You card with C9's wonderful new dies. The background stamp is from the

Stamp Market.

I did a quick and loose watercolor on the floral part of the frame, and cut the frame die 3

times, gluing them together for dimension. 

Hope you play along. The stunning inspiration photo can be interpreted in so 

many ways. Remember to include the photo on your post to be eligible to win.

Have a wonderful week!

Sending Prayers

Hi everyone. I've made a card for a very sad purpose today.

A cousin of mine has died after a long fight with breast cancer.

Sending her parents this card, made following Betsy's technique,

'Ombre Watercolor Backgrounds.'

I love the soft look of the background, and tried it Betsy's way with 3 shades

of green. Second time around added honeynut and stuck with that little bit of 

color change.

My cousin was full of faith, and during the worst of it, always managed

to encourage everyone around her. I will miss her, but I know I'll see her again!

Take care, my friends. This gift called life is all too fleeting!

PTI's 10th Anniversary: 2008

We're celebrating 2008 with PTI, and 5 sets from the year's 

originals.

My inspiration came from Melissa's floral card celebrating Flower Garden.

She white embossed the edge stamp, then stamped it again a bit offset,

then used her watercolors to fill in the petals.

Loved the look!

I used the stamps from Oopsie Daisey, and the sentiment and little

flower from Happiness In Bloom.
