I took the Zinnia flower image, resized on my computer and printed onto white card stock, colouring the image in with my Copics and trimming out. Using more white card stock and the Friend Definition stamp from Hero Arts, I inked it with some Smokey Shadow ink from PTI and stamped over the card stock, adding stitching to the edge and added a slight touch of blending with Black Soot distress ink. Again using more white card stock and a Tim Holtz die, I cut out a die and added Black Soot to the edge of this die. Adhering the flower using foam dimensionals and stamping a sentiment from the Hero Arts, Celebrate Everyday stamp set, adhering the die cut to the definition card stock and then onto some Raspberry Fizz cardstock. Finally, adding pink rhinestones to match and adhered the entire lot to a trimmed white card.
Whilst we are on the subject of Mothers Day, Tiffany is having a great sale, check out all the deets below and be sure to check out the blog for lots more inspiration from my fellow DT members and details of the challenge.
At the last minute I have decided to enter this card into the Casual Fridays Challenge.
