Thank God we have Card challenges to inspire us :) My mojo was completely off and then I went scrolling through challenges and found just the right idea :) To make this card, I did stamping of the flowers in distress inks and water colored it all, once dried I added details with Prisma Color pencils. On a die cut panel I embossed the butterflies with the dies. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment and assembled it all together.  I have used Sweet and Sassy Mom, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting dies, Flutter Zen - 2 Layering Dies and Gansai Tambi Watercolors.

A little play time for me!

I had to make a few Mother's Day cards and since my newest set is for mom, all the more reason for me to get creative ;) Here is my card inspired by a few challenges :)

To make this card, added a layer of patterned paper on card base, die cut a kraft frame. Stamped the floral cluster in a light shade of ink and did some no line Pencil coloring. I then fuzzy cut it and assembled it all together :)
I have used Best Mom Ever and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle dies along with Prisma Color Pencils. Here's a closeup...

Commenting closes on Monday, May 8, with the winners announced on May 10.

Let me begin the inspiration parade :) The newest set from Shirley is so awesome. We all needed a perfume based stamp set and she made it :)
Using Parfumerie
To make this card I masked and stamped the images on a watercolor card panel and water colored it loosely to give it a painting like look :) Kept the colors simple. I am loving this set :) Besides, the new set I have used Groovy Shoes and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting dies.
Here is another click ...

Next up is the set designed by Becca... oooo those sentiments, I love those and those big bold flowers just gorgeous. Let me show you what I created.
To make this card I stamped, fuzzy cut and colored the flowers with Sharpie Markers and leaves with Spectrum Noir Markers. On the card base I added a patterned paper which inspired me on the colors. I took a white card stock and cut the lower edge using Lacy edges and Borders dies. I adhered it all together and finished the card by stamping the sentiment.
Here's another look...

Now the card that I am gonna show is from the Shery Russ Designs... did you know the girl in this set was drawn by Shery's Dad years ago. What a proud moment for Shery to convert it into a stamp. Such a cool and trendy looking girl :)
To make this card, I took a patterned paper panel and taking cues from it I inked the three die cut flowers. Keeping the girl as the focus I assembled it all together :) Besides the new set I have used Trendy Spring Bloom dies. Here is one more look...

And finally, I get to show you my latest set :)
I had to do some more water coloring and I always love the look of No Line water coloring. I stamped the image on a watercolor card stock with some light shade of Distress ink multiple times. I the fuzzy cut it. Next I did some water coloring. Adhered a wood grain patterned paper on card base and the added the water colored panel.
Here are a couple more clicks...


Hope you enjoyed all my creations. Don't forget to comment here and on rest of the blogs in the hop for your chance to win :) Head on HERE...
