I wanted to share the card I made for my mum on Mother's Day. I made the background using Dylusions Ink Spray in Lemon Zest & an orange spray that I made from my orange Derwent Ink Block & some water.
I tore the meaning of Mother out of a dictionary that I use for art (I don't normally go around tearing up books!) and inked it using Distress Stain in Scattered Straw. I also used it to colour in the vintage photo I used. It is available to download from The Graphics Fairy, which is an invaluable source in my opinion!
I used my Big Shot & Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die for the flower which I inked using the same inks. I finished it off with a broken earring! I love using broken jewellery in projects!
I inked up some lace from my stash with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo & then rinsed it through with a little water. It just ages it a little... Once dry I added it to the background. I layered the background onto gold card cut to size. I added some natural twine across it & put all the elements together. Voila!
Mum loved it... I hope you do too!
