The above drawing is a picture our daughter, Kati, drew for Mama.
The above table displays one of the very first cards I ever made in 2009 using my brand new Cricut Expression and one of the Solution cartridges that came with it.
The above is one of the paintings I created. I have a whole stack of them, and she asked if she could have one. I was totally surprised when she had it framed and put on her wall.
- Card base is white cardstock from Office Depot 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
- Black image matting 2 1/8" x 5 3/8"
- Image background created by sponging different inks for the background then stamping the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on top of the background sponged ink.
- Background colors are all Close To My Heart Inks (from bottom to top): Pear, Lagoon, Gypsy, and Honey
- Flower image is from Stampin' Up "Serene Silhouettes"
- Cardz TV Stamps "Rejoice" used for Scripture stamp inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink
- 3D butterfly from Recollections adhered with foam tape

Happy belated Birthday to your momma. Loved the colors of the card. :) you are so awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Janis - I want blog candy - well, you asked! LOL - Nice tribute to your mom's birthday and I love the scripture on the card - my mom is 82 years young - still quilts, crochets (and I mean with thread), cooks, lives alone, shops, you name it - I am blessed to have her living 5 minutes from me - thanks for the hop and for the blog candy opportunity - enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteLovely card for you mom, I'm sure she will love it! Thanks for joining our challenge over at Docerela Creations!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to your sweet Mama. :0) I love all the talent that you have shown by your pictures. She sure is super proud of you and admires you so much. I am so impressed with all your talent. What a special card and scripture that you made for her. she is sure to treasure it. XOXO, Julie. :0)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! What a beautiful card that you have made and such a talent paining! Thanks for playing with us at {PIN}spirational Challenges!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to have an appreciative audience, isn't it!? Your Mama is a gem, framing the art of her loved ones. I cherish the art given me, too, and in fact, all of the art I have framed and hung in my home has been done by one relative or another. My sister is what I would consider the very most talented of all of us -- she does beautiful watercolor paintings, and I am lucky to have absconded with two of my favorites. I had them archivally preserved and framed; one is in my living room and the other is in my guest bedroom. She was SO flattered that I would take such care of her creations! So it's a win-win for both of us ... I get the art, and she gets the joy in knowing how much it is loved. It is truly a blessing to be able to give with such love!
