My mum is a wonderful lady and my best friend ... for me, she is the best mum in the world! She is also a card maker but our styles are very different although she always wants to learn how I make my cards. I do share my design secrets with her as she did teach me to knit and sew!
I stamped and heat embossed the peony before water colouring the image. I added the sentiment with foam adhesive for added dimension and a few enamel dots for added interest (and because my mum would have added them!!).
I used:
UNIKO - Pure Florals:Peony
Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry
Versafine - Onyx Black ink
WOW Clear embossing powder
I'm entering the following challenges:
UNIKO Challenge - my card was made with love but I'm not sure it fits the optional twist!
