2015 - Week 11 - Mother's Day - Mam

Card No. 3

Like I said before last but not least,
here is the Card I made for my 
partners mum Kathleen.

(or as I call her Mama Kath)

This wonderful Lady raise 3 girls
(one of whom is my best friend)
and an amazing man, 
who is my beloved Fiancee.

This lovely lady also sat me down one day,
while our respective men-folk went fishing.
And introduced me to the 
Wonderful World of Card Crafting

Mam's Mothers Day Card

To begin with I used a pre-cut Scalloped Square White Card

(stash)
Then for the backing paper
 I used  Iridescent Metallic Yellow Paper
(Craft Planet)

The Image I have used is
Rose And Butterfly 1 - 
By Delicious Doodles.
Which I printed out

  on White DC Paper 3 times.
And coloured it in

using my Promarker Pens

                                                        Roses -       Buttercup
                                                                            Yellow
                                                                            Gold

                                                                            Blossom

                                                                            Dusky Rose
                                                                            Carmine
                                                                            Meadow Green 
                                                                            Pear Green
                                                                            Moss

                                                        Butterfly - Buttercup
                                                                            Gold
                                                                            Blossom
                                                                            Dusky Rose
                                                                            Carmine

I then used one of the Images as my Base Image,
of which I used the Duotone Special Effect. 
Using the Greeting Card Factory 
(Art Explosion)

From the next Image 
I fussy cut out the Butterfly,
and the all Large Rose.
And from the last Image I 
fussy cut out the Butterfly again
and the center of the Rose.
Then decoupaged the Rose up,
and one of the Butterflies.
The other Butterfly I placed to the top left ,
using a Black Pen to draw in its Antenna .

For my Sentiment I printed it off 
on the Image I used as my Base.
Using the English 111 Presto BT Font,
and Ground 11 Texture for the Writing
(which is Brown Pebbles).

I Handmade the Bow from 
2cm Yellow Glitz Ribbon
(Kanban). 
And I added some sparkle with 
Holographic Gold Glitter
(Glitter Magic)
to the Swirls around the Roses.

Finally I went around the outside placing a 
3mm Yellow Rhinestone in each of the Scallops

(stash)
matching the gaps for the straight edge, 
And 5mm Yellow Dotted Rhinestones
(stash)
to each of the Corners.

Card No. 2

Here is the Card I made for my Mum
Angelina.
I finally made contact with my Mum 
a few years ago.
I had known I was adopted all my life,
and I even knew her name.
I am so blessed that our reunion was 
a joyous and happy one,
even more so as I found a whole new family 
who welcomed me back with open arms.

My Mum has never been far from 
my thoughts and prayers,
and now I can share this Day with her.

Card No. 1

Well lets see if you were all paying 
attention to my last Blog, 
and see if you can work out 
which "Mother" gets which Card.
I know its so confusing 
even for those close to me.

As all my "Mum's" have got their cards 
I can now share them with you.

Here is the Card I made for my Mom
GeorgeAnn.
My Mom's Canadian, 
and when I first saw this Image 
I immediately thought of the last time 
we were both in Canada.
we were sitting out on the deck at the 
Family House, 
watching the Hummingbirds
flitting around.
We even went and bought feeders 
so we could watch them.
