Mother's Day Inspiration

Mother's day is this weekend, if you are like me it kind of crept up and now you might be scrambling to get a card of two made well never fear I have a couple of cards for inspiration over the next few days.

 This card is a copy of one I made for my MIL's birthday back in April but forgot to post. It is stamped with a layered set made by Impression Obsession. I found it easy to use, and although I own a Misti, stamped it without using it.

I used 6 different colors of yellow ink and it worked out well. The inks I used for the roses from the bottom up  the were

Archival Buttercup, Memento Dandelion, Distress Mustard Seed, Memento Cantaloupe (stamped twice on top of each other with the same stamp). Leaf colors were Memento Bamboo Leaves and Distress Peeled Paint. I must say I was not 100% happy with how the Distress inks stamped I found them kind of blotchy and I tried a few techniques to eliminate this but nothing helped. Memento and Archival stamped much better. Distress worked just not as good as the others.

The sentiment is by Penny Black and stamped with Versafine Deep Lagoon ink.

Did you know Crafty Capers now has an online store. I have added a link to the stamp set I used if you wish to purchase it.

Hope this card provided some inspiration!
