For Mother

For club we made an ultra simple, but perfectly elegant, Mother's Day Card.
I am sad that we are saying goodbye to the Apothecary Art Stamp set... (order before May 26th or it is gone forever).. but I am devastated we are losing Crisp Cantaloupe (and strawberry slush and pistachio pudding and coastal cabana).

I love the mosaic background from the bigshot.  The image is from Apothercary Art, and we used blender pens to color the flowers, then the big shot to cut out the shape, making a perfect image everytime.  The paper is crumb cake... and of course, the pearls finish it off nicely.
The sentiment is from teeny tiny wishes!

Thank You

I find you can never have enough thank you cards.  This is a simple one I CASED from stampin' up directly... I switched it up a bit by adding the embossed hearts on the bottom.. and originally the stampin' up card used the blendabilities... but now that we no longer sell them I had to figure something else out... I used ROY G. BIV for the order of the colors, and then just the stamp pads and a blender pen to still give it the umbre effect.

Thanks for looking!

Bokeh technique.

I do not know how to pronounce this technique, so I won't even try... but at club we had a blast doing it!
We made this card:

We used watercolor paper, and then an aqua painter to "dab" the color onto the paper... i used calypso coral, pistachio, coastal cabana, and crisp cantaloupe.  Then we let it dry, and used a sponge dauber and whisper white to put circles all over the background.... I used the circle die cuts on a piece of window sheet to create different sizes of circles... You want to do varying shades of the white.

Then we used the stamp set "nature's perfection" from saleabration... this is currently retired, now, but you can use any stamp set from the catalogue that is a flower.  We embossed it, twice, in whisper white and white embossing powder, than used blender bens to color the flower.
The neutral is basic grey.
