Happy Mother’s Day

5/26/20 Honorable Mention at CASology!

Hi everyone! It’s Fri-YAY – hope you have a wonderful weekend planned and you continue to stay safe and well! I’m playing in The Outlawz Challenges again and have popped in this morning to share a card that I’m entering into the Festive Fridays Challenge where our sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps. The themes to choose from are Christmas, Birthday, Mother’s Day and Sympathy, so this Mother’s Day card is perfect for this challenge!

I won a Clearly Besotted gift card several weeks back and purchased several clear stamp sets, and this is one of them. First time using it and I love it! I stamped the image in black and then again in Versamark and then heat embossed in clear – a trick I learned years ago to give virtually any color of heat embossing! I colored the image with Nuvo alcohol markers, stamped the Mother’s Day sentiment and layered the panel on purple cardstock. I finished the front with some Crystal Drops.

I kept the inside simple to go with the CAS design on the front – stamped the sentiment in black ink and layered the panel on the purple cardstock.

One more peek… I absolutely love how this turned out!

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)
