Mod Squad Challenge - A Day for Mothers

Dear Ones~
It's my turn again over at Mod Squad. Since we are in May now, I decided that my challenge would simply be to make a Mother's Day card. The only stipulation is that the word MOTHER must be on the front of the card. While I no longer have my mom to make a card for, I do have a lovely friend named Edie to whom I always send a Mother's Day card.

PRIZE

A $20 gift certificate to the Gina K Designs store.

Here's my creation:

For this card I used a Gina K Designs stamp set by Melanie Muenchinger called Fabulous Rose Frame. The greeting is from the Gina K Designs Springtime Baskets stamp set. It was heat embossed on vellum with GKD Champagne Embossing Powder using GKD Embossing Ink. I did not know this set had retired before I made the card, however the A Beautiful Life stamp set has a lovely Mother’s Day greeting. Card stocks used were Dusty Rose and Black Onyx. 

Glad you stopped by, and don't forget to head on over to The Mod Squad Challenge Blog and play along. You could win the prize! I can't wait to see your wonderful creations, and I adore your comments.

 

I hope you all are well and staying away from others. These are strange times, aren't we glad we have our craft to keep us sane?

Ink On 3 - Tiny Dancer

Dear Ones~
It is my honor to be guest designing for a fabulous company named Ink On 3. This is a wonderful company that offers inks, stamps, dies, stencils, even svg files, and more. Swing on over and check them out. You won't be sorry.

Today I have a cute and whimsical card that I hope will make you smile. I love that little mouse from the Dance and Twirl stamp set, and I thought it would be fun to have her dancing on a flower. So I pulled out the Water Lily stamp set and here's what I came up with.

I began by stamping the flower, leaves and the mouse on watercolor paper with Ink On 3 Blackout Detail Ink. I die cut the mouse image with the companion die from the Dance and Twirl set. A slit was cut in the center of the water lily with a craft knife so that I could insert the foot of the mouse to look like she was pirouetting in the middle of the flower.  Then I colored the images with Atelier Re-inkers. Those inks are amazing. The colors are extremely rich, a little goes a long way.

 The Ingredients:

 SU Pink Flamingo Card Stock

Strathmore Watercolor Paper

Stash Patterned Paper
Quick Kutz Hexagonal Dies

Ink On 3 Dance & Twirl Stamps

Ink On 3 Water Lily Stamps

Ink On 3 Dogwood Flower Stamps for Greeting

Ink On 3 Atelier Re-inkers in:
*Blackout Detail

*Twiggy Brown

*Marilyn Red

*Bee Sting Yellow

*Marigold Orange

I would invite you to hop on over to the Ink On 3 website and take a look at all the wonderful products offered there. And thanks for stopping by. As always, I adore your comments.

Hugs~
