I kept it really simple for Mother's Day this year. There wasn't anything suitable in my stash, but I wasn't in the right mood to create two cards from scratch. (And my craft room was a bit of a disaster area which isn't at all helpful for the creative muse.) So I used my little… Continue reading Mother’s Day
Yes, I know, another Power Poppy image, but they are so good for Mother's Day cards; I used this one for my other half's mum this year, though I actually coloured the image a couple of years ago during a Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge — it's good to use the occasional coloured image… Continue reading Spring meadow bouquet
Flowers for Mother's Day seems a bit predictable, but Power Poppy flowers are always beautiful and enjoyable to colour. And I always seem to leave starting work on cards until just before the deadline and rarely give myself time to come up with anything innovative, so I am super grateful to Marcella Hawley for sharing… Continue reading Hollyhocks and gem
I had printed out the gerbera image in preparation for a previous Daily Marker colouring challenge and it had been lurking in the pile of printed digi stamps ever since. I didn’t colour it with the intention of making a Mother’s Day card, but I was so happy with it once it was finished that… Continue reading Mother’s Day gerbera
And then you realise that there's a really good reason why the other Mother's Day card didn't get posted to the blog. Although you wrote up a load of other cards and scheduled them, you didn't actually get around to writing the post to go with this card. So, a couple of days late, here… Continue reading Flowers and mice
My go-to provider of floral digi stamps is Power Poppy, who make the most gorgeous floral arrangements, but every now and again it's nice to colour something simpler that I can add a few tweaks to. Unfortunately, I discovered Wee Stamps just after she (hopefully temporarily) closed her digi stamp store, so I have to… Continue reading Mother’s Day flowers
I always make two Mother’s Day cards; the first one was for my other half’s mum and this one — which has to be a Mothering Sunday card — is for mine. Another Power Poppy digi because Marcella’s gorgeous illustrations make it so easy to create beautiful images. Individually, the greens for the leaves don’t… Continue reading Mothering Sunday: Pink camellias
It’s Mother’s Day, so that means flowers. And it’s the perfect opportunity to use some of the Power Poppy digis that I’ve accumulated. First up: the climbing clematis. I didn’t have any plan for the card design when I started so I just concentrated on enjoying doing the colouring. Once I’d finished with the Copic… Continue reading Mother’s Day: Pink clematis
Another catch-up post; this card was originally made on February 27th. This card was for my mum. For her, it always has to be "Mothering Sunday" rather than "Mother's Day" — something which made finding store-bought cards increasingly tricky. Rather less traditionally, there also have to be some cute critters on there. How: I love… Continue reading Mothering Sunday: Bouquet and birds
This card was created on February 26th; ready for the time of year when the floral stamp sets come into their own… Mother’s Day. I made this one for my other half's mum. Inspired by: This card by Sharon Hayes on Instagram. How: Stamping, heat embossing, Distress ink blending and fussy cutting. All far easier… Continue reading Mother’s Day: Doodle blooms
