Mother's Day Card #5

Hi crafty friends!

Now you are probably wondering why I have 

made so many Mother's Day cards.

Earlier this year I decided that I wanted to make

a point of sending out more cards to my family,

so that's what I've been trying to do for 

holidays.  I'm lucky enough to still have my

Mom, she is 92 yrs old and going strong.

But I also have a few sisters in law that I'll be

sending them too.

Just because they are not MY mother

doesn't mean they don't deserve a card, right?

Today I have card #5 in my series.

This poppy stamp is one of my favorites.

It is "Poppies" from Stacy Stamps

I stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black Ink

onto water color paper.

I colored it with 

Neocolor II water color crayons,

and fussy cut it.

The black background is from a piece I had

in my stash.  I made this using Perfect Pearls

and black card stock.

It's hard to capture the shimmer in a photograph, 

but in real life it's just beautiful.

The larger background was also in my stash,

it was made using

 deli paper and alcohol inks.

I simply wrapped it around a piece of white

card stock to give it stability,

then adhered it to the card base.

I love having these handmade background

pieces in my stash to choose from.

I used some craft foam on the back of the 

black piece to give a little dimension.

The sentiment is from 

The Happy Anniversary Stamp Set

from QKR Stampede.

I hope you are enjoying these cards,

I sure did enjoy making them.

Come again soon for card #6 and the

last in the Mother's Day Card Series.

See you soon!
