SHOPPING OUR STASH #419 - Happy Mother's Day


Hello and welcome friends! Yours truly is hosting
over at SHOPPING OUR STASH! Mother's Day is coming up
on May 10th in the US and Canada, and so for the next two weeks, 
we'd like to see your Mother's Day projects.

I decided to have a go water coloring using Magenta Nuance powder dyes:


I stamped and heat embossed the flowers in gold, then using
various powder dyes, water colored them, then added a blue wash
around the entire image. I had assembled the card before I remembered
that I had wanted to splatter some black ink over the panel. Plan B was to
stamp that dot grouping around the image in gray ink.

A simple sentiment finished the inside:


Ooh! Shiny!

I hope that you find some time to play along in our Mother's Day
challenge at Shopping Our Stash. We'd love to see your creations
in our gallery! If you are in need of more ideas, simply check out
what my teammies have created!
Hoping that you all are staying safe during this 'new normal'.

  1. Love the colours, so bright and cheerful the black frame just makes them pop even more. Just a question do you put the powder on the image than waterpaint it or do you mix them in a pallet? I haven't had much luck with powders but what every you did is fab. Super design and card.
