I thought I'd get a head start on making my Mother's Day cards. I've used a CAS-ual Fridays stamp from their Mon Ami set, the stylised flower is so pretty and wanted that to be the main focus of the card.
I've done a no line colouring as I didn't want the harshness of the black lines and coloured using Prismas in shades of yellow through to red near the core of the flower.
The sentiment is from an Altenew set which sums up how we all feel about our moms and that we are also the best moms too. To finish off the card I added a few gold splatters and just a small amount of glitter to the flower.
Right that's me done for a couple of weeks as I swap watercolours for emulsion, I'm such a lucky ducky - sigh!
