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

                                                                            Meadow Green 
                                                                            Pear Green
                                                                            Moss

                                                        Butterfly - Buttercup

                                                                            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

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.

My project for this week is:-

For my Base Card I used a pre-cut Fancy Square 
with Circle Insert White Card
(stash)  

Which I covered with a Black Leather Effect Card
(stash)
and then Fussy Cut it around the card
(including the inside gaps between Square and Circle).
Then I used a Pearlised Red Paper
(Ross Papers)
to cover the inside back of the front Card
so that you could see it through the cut-outs.
Also using the same Red Paper
I used my Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder
(Stamping Up)
and Die-Cut a Circle out 
using the Largest Circle
(X-Cut).

Next I printed off the image for this project,
on White DC Paper.
(4 copies)

I coloured the Images

Then I used a Gold Metallic Gel Pen on the Earring, 

Nose Ring, Buttons on the Jacket 

and on the Lace under the Bow.

     

I then fussy cut out 1 of the images around the full figure.
The 2nd one I just cut out her Head.
And on the 3rd one I cut out her Bow, 
Top Lace of her Choker and her Front Glove .
And for the remaining Full Image I used and Teabag
(my partner was lucky and got a Cuppa made special lol)
and when it had cooled, I dabbed it all over 
to give the background a vintage look.
Then Decoupaged them all up.

For my Bows I Handmade them all.
1st I use 2 strips of 5mm Red Satin Ribbon,
(stash)
and made the small Red Bows 
on each side of the card.
For the Bow at the bottom,
I used Black Organza with Gold Trim
(Boyes Haberdashery)
which I then Folded to make 3 Layers on each side.
And to secure it and have the 'knot' in the middle
I used some 2mm Gold Elastic Ribbon
(Boyes Haberdashery).

To finish my card off 
I used 8 Mini Red Flat-Back Gems
(stash)
on her Choker,
and 1 Oval Red Diamanté Gem
(Great Expressions)
for the Large Centre Gem.
Also 4 Red Buttons in the corners,
and 1 Black Button at the Top of the Card
