Darling Daisies

Hello there. April 1st already? No April Fools joke here as I’m racing against the clock! 😂 I had misplaced the Darling Daisies layering stencil set from The Ton before ever getting the chance to use it, so when I finally found it, I got to work right away! I love daisies and this stencil set made it so easy to create a gorgeous daisy panel!

Once all the stencilling with dye inks using blending brushes was done, I didn’t want to cover up too much of it so… I just added a Simon Sats Stamp “let’s celebrate” die cut sentiment from my stash. It was die cut from gold foil paper and layered onto its vellum shadow piece.

Since this stencil set truly is super easy to use and yields such gorgeous results, I played around with non-conventional colours… and they look amazing, too!

Using shades of brown, I was going for a vintage / sepia look with this one.

For this pink one, left the first stencil in place and splattered diluted white gouache paint to the background for some for some texture.

And that’s it for me. Thank you for stopping by.

Mother’s Day Bouquet

Hello there. It’s Mother’s Day here today and I want to wish all the moms, especially my amazing mom, a well-deserved fabulous day! My mom is out of town so thank goodness for FaceTime. 🤗 Anyway, no surprise I have my mom’s Mother’s Day card to share today. I used Hero Arts Bouquet Accessories fancy dies to give her a dozen paper roses .… unfortunately, she will be receiving them late. 🙈

Our favourite colour is blue, but the polka dot bouquet wrap from my stash was already inked with Spun Sugar distress ink (DI), so I went with it. Besides, it was die cut from the last scrap of polka dot resist paper I’ve had for over a decade so there were none left for me to redo in blue. 😂 The bouquet flowers/foliage were all die cut from scraps of alcohol marker friendly cardsrock and coloured with Copic Sketch markers.

The background panel was also from my stash and it is Bristol paper embossed with a script embossing folder (unknown). I just blended Spun Sugar DI on the upper left corner. The sentiments (retired) were heat embossed with gold embossing powder on a scrap of Bristol paper then trimmed to strips. The letters “mom” were die cut from Memory Box gold Polished Foil paper using Bold Amazing Greeting Word Plate dies by The Ton. Assembled the card onto a white card base and added clear shimmer to the roses to finish.

So a lot of paper scraps and leftover pieces (Alice, I tried 🤷🏻‍♀️) were used here even though my scrap pile doesn’t look like it was even touched. 😆 Thank you for joining me today. For those who are celebrating, happy Mother’s Day. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Mother’s Day Peony

Hello and happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmas and mother figures. One of my many favourite flowers is the peony, and after years of it collecting dust in my drawer, I finally pulled out the Peony Duo stamp set by The Ton Stamps to create my mom’s Mother’s Day card. No surprise blue is my favourite colour... BUT it turns out, it’s my mom’s favourite colour, too! Bonus! 😂

So the peony and leaves were stamped with VersaMark ink onto hot press watercolor paper and heat embossed with Wow! Silver Pearl embossing powder. Watercoloured them with Karin PRO Brushmarkers, then fussy cut them out (there are coordinating dies, which I don’t have).

Next, a piece of Bristol paper was dry embossed with a new 3D embossing folder from Altenew called Rows of Squares. White heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set on black cardstock, then assembled the card onto a white card base. Added clear shimmer to the peony and a few jewel rhinestones for some sparkle to finish.

With my dad’s recent passing two weeks ago, I really wish I could be there in person today to spoil my mom. I may be bias, but my mom’s pretty amazing! Hope she is enjoying her day. Thank you for dropping by. Enjoy your day.
