I used elegant eggplant and wisteria wonder for my main card stock layers. I did some embossing with a Cuttlebug folder. My image was from an old SU stamp called Violets for You that I found at a friend's yard sale and have never inked up. I used my blender pen and reinkers to water color the image. I popped up one blossom with a dimensional and added a dab of glitter to the center of each flower. The sentiment comes from Something to Celebrate.
My own mom passed away in 1986, so Mother's Day always makes me kind of sad. When I finished this card, I was wishing I still had the chance to send it to her since she knew how much I love violets and all shades of purple. This year I do have a wonderful mother in law, so it will be on the way to her.
Have a great Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

What a beautiful card Carol! We wont have flowers blooming in my neck of the woods for another month or so, but I do love violets! Great job on the watercoloring and the sketch!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Fathers Day that you feel about Mothers Day :( It can be quite hard to have a parent gone.
Your watercolouring is awesome Carol. My grammy loved purples too...glad your mother in-law will get to enjoy this lovely card! Thanks for joining us at the Paper Players and Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty Carol. Love the way you've coloured the flowers and the embossing looks great. Thanks for playing at FMS this week.
ReplyDeleteNothing says "spring" like violets! So sweet, I can smell them now! Thanks for playing with us with your watercolored creation at the Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteCarol, those flowers are beautiful. A perfect Mother's Day card. I love that you kept a neutral background to allow the focal image to shine. So glad you joined the Paper Players this week
