I can think of a few people that unquestionably brighten my day, just by being who they are.
My momma is certainly one of those people, and this card sums up the joy and radiance she brings to my life! Today's card is a Delicate Series addition, so if you love this style, be sure to check out the others!
To start this card, I used an Altenew oldie, but goodie. It's among my favorite sets, and it looks just as lovely all stamped up, or watercolored, like I've done today. Which style is your favorite?
To watercolor the blooms, I first stamped them in a very light ink. You can use a no-line ink, or just a very light shade...I believe I used a soft pink here. Then I used a thin brush and some watercolors to add pigment to the florals.
After all was dry, I added a bursting sun-ray, which is one of my favoritest dies from Papertrey. Today's card is definitely a tribute to past favorites :)
Atop that, I added a doily - a pre-cut version I grabbed many years ago. But if you're wanting a die alternative, I've linked up some below.
I am absolutely and positively in love with this card. Somehow, whenever I create for my momma, it's as if all the love in the world pours out into my hands and they just go off on their own! I guess that's what creating from the heart is really all about.

Delicate and delightful, Ivana … this mom loves it, my friend! I haven't used this old favorite Altenew set in a bit - I love dipping into watery puddles of Distress oxides to stamp them!

This is beautiful!! I envy how you can do your watercolor so lightly. I am so heavy handed no matter what I do. The way you layered the sentiment is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply dreamy Ivana, any mom would adore it!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesomely true. What a beautiful insight. I feel much the same way when I create for my own sweet mama, as well as a handful of other people that are extremely close to my heart.
