STAMPIN' UP! REMARKABLE YOU, FOR MOTHERS' DAY

In deciding my design for the Mothers' Day cards I made this year, I was inspired by a couple of my favourite card makers.  Sandi MacIver often uses pinks and yellows on her flowers (and her watercolouring is to die for!); and Paula Dobson reminded me with this spectacular card, that I own the Remarkable You stamp set.

Here is the card that I made for my Mum ... and was so happy with, I also made for my mother-in-law.  I had a lot of fun getting inky, and was very pleased to discover that not even Melon Mambo ink will stain my lovely new Organic White Caesarstone benchtops!  Phew.

I realised, "after the fact", that I had stamped my flowers and leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I would not recommend doing this, if you're planning to watercolour, folks!  The ink does bleed (well, because it's not designed to be waterfast).  I meant to stamp in Basic Black Archival ink, but will pretend for the purpose of this post that I wanted a more "arty", unstructured look!

The vellum I used was a Sale-A-Bration freebie, but all other current products are listed below.  You can get them for yourself from my online store, by simply clicking on one of the thumbnails.

Happy Mothers' Day, to all who celebrate this day.  My boys have absolved me of the usual dishes and dog duties that fall to Mum, and they're taking me out for dinner shortly.  We spent the afternoon visiting my and my husband's Mums, so a lovely family day all round.

JAI # 283 : STAMPIN' UP! REMARKABLE YOU BIRTHDAY CARD

Narelle has created this sketch for us to use, for this week's  Just Add Ink challenge:

 

I recently bought Stampin' Up!'s Remarkable You stamp set; it contains lovely bold outline images, that are great for colouring in.  I stamped, in Jet Black Stazon ink, on watercolour paper, one of the flowers, and coloured it using Blackberry Bliss ink and a blender pen; the intensity of colour is gorgeous.

 

The beautiful paper I've used for the banner, is from the Into the Woods Designer Series Paper pack from the Holiday Catalogue.

 

 

 

Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to purchase them for yourself, you can click on one of the thumbnail images to be taken direct to my online store.

Please take a look at the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations this week; amazing!
