Mother's Day Wishes

A simple and quick Mother's Day card, I can't believe its next weekend... 


 
I've used a Visible Image stamp coloured in with pink, dark blue, purple and lilac zig watercolour pens and spritzed with water and left to soak into the non watercolour paper... not the greatest fan of that pesky bumpy paper.



Using a make-up sponge I applied some Versamark to the tips of the butterfly then heat embossed with sparkle embossing powder... she's one for the bling.

This card is so far away from my comfort zone and if I hated doing the front I included an insert in my most loathed colour... PURPLE *shudders.

The sentiment is a mash-up of Lawn Fawn and WPlus9.  I also added in the apostrophe in Mother's after I'd taken the photograph, looks a bit weird on screen without it.

    This is simply stunning! I love the sparkle on the pink portion of the butterfly and the purple - well purple is my favorite color, so this one floats my boat :) I love how you blended the colors together and added a great sentiment. Our Mother's day here in the US is the first Sunday in May, so I have a little time to make mine!

    I'm a fan of your comfort zone cards, but I have to tell you, I became a fan of your not comfort zone card too. :-) This butterfly is just stunning. Color choice can't be better. Design is perfect. Sonja

    Oh, I absolutely love your beautiful CAS Mother's Day card! That butterfly is so pretty. I have the same aversion to purple but sure love it here. Thank you for playing with us at Cardz 4 Galz and hope you can join us again soon.

    Gorgeous colours for your butterfly! Great idea to add the sparkly embossing powder, too - and not just because the recipient likes it! You may have ventured out of your comfort zone, but it really is a beautiful card! Thanks for joining us at Happy little Stampers for the Watercolour Challenge!
