Happy Wednesday and thank you for stopping by. It is All About Occasions on the Watercooler Website and Kath is our hostess this week.

$Simon Says Stamp Create A Smile In Bloom floral Mother\'s Day Card.$

This is the Mother\’s Day card I made for my mother-in-law. I embossed the blooms and leaves from Create a Smile\’s In Bloom. I love these large bold flowers! Then I used distress ink (wilted violet, salty ocean, twisted citron, squeezed lemonade, carved pumpkin) on an ink blender to color each image. I buffed and let dry. Finally, I fussy cut each image. I really need to order the die cuts for this much used set.

Next, I stamped a background using SSS\’s Brush Stroke Messages. I adhered the flowers and leaves using foam tape for dimension. Last I popped on the sentiment and added SSS sequins and Pretty Pink Posh jewels.

WWC208 – Charlotte\’s "All About Occasions" Challenge

February 13, 2019 Karen Brown6 Comments

Here at Watercooler Wednesday, we are hosting our All About Occasions Challenge.. Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation, there are so many themes you can use to enter.

I purchased Gina K\’s Wreath Builder Stencil a while back and thought it would make a pretty background behind some large blooms from the Create a Smile Botanical Love and In Bloom stamp sets. These are two of my “go-to” floral stamp sets. This is a birthday card for one of my girlfriends.

Create a Smile In Bloom and Botanical Love stamp sets.

I stamped the background wreath off center and then trimmed the card base down to 4 x 5 1/4\”. Next I stamped, Copic colored and fussy cut the two blooms and adhered with foam tape. I popped it on a coordinating lavender A2 card and it was ready to send.

I am entering this card in The Create a Smile Friends Challenge. I made this card for one of my girlfriends. UPDATE: This card was selected as a \”Featured Artist\” at Create a Smile.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mother\’s Day Card

April 22, 2018 Karen Brown2 Comments

I am very excited about the Mother\’s Day card I created for my Mom. I used the In Bloom Stamp Set from Create a Smile.

$Handmade Mother\'s Day Card$

I colored the flowers with Copic Markers and then fussy cut them out. On card stock I added some paint splatters and then adhered each piece with adhesive foam squares. Next, I embossed the sentiment (Hero Arts) on a strip of black card stock and then mounted on the card. I am happy with the card and can\’t wait to share with my mother.

I am entering the card in the Create A Smile Challenge:
