Mother's Day

Hi everyone! :o)

It's Mother's Day today in Croatia and I want to share with you a card I made for my mom for the occasion.


To make this card I was inspired with a gorgeous card made by SonjaK of The Art of Stamping. Thanks for the inspiration Sonja! :o)


How I made this card...

I used rose die-cut that I got from friend Valentina of Barvito malo mesto. Thank you Valentina!! :o)

I glued rose's outline on a one sided sticker paper. Then I ink blended tiny rose's parts with Distress Ink Colors. After blending, I glued each piece into it's place (die-cut inlay) and cut away excess of the sticker paper.

I prepared a white top folded card base and a white panel, slightly smaller than the card base. I stamped a word 'Mama' from Jane's Doodles 'Mother's Day' stamp set on the panel and a heart from the same set.

Then I wrote word 'najbolja' above word 'Mama' with a pencil, traced the word with black fine liner and erased pencil marks. The sentiment 'najbolja mama' is on Croatian and it means 'The Best Mom'. :o)

Lastly, I glued the panel on the card base, glued some 3-D foam on the die-cut rose, glued the rose on the panel and my card was finished.

I'm satisfied how my card turned out and my mom loves it. :o)

Tiger Lilies Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)


Hi everyone! :o)

On Tuesday, May 15th, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Tiger Lilies Card. :o)


 This card is a CASE of a card I made for my mom and shared it two weeks ago (find it here). I went with same design, layout and used same stamps, but went with different color scheme and used different techniques and mediums for coloring. :o)

Mom of a lovely young lady, for whom I created this card, loves orange color. I immediately knew I should go with Tiger Lilies. Gorgeous flower! :o)


 How I made the card...

For my card I used stamps from two GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Lily and Mother's Day.

 

With some masking, I stamped lilies directly on a white top folded card base.

 I colored lilies with various coloring mediums. First I blended Distress Ink. I used negative part of masks to protect white background and ink blended lilies. I splattered lilies with water, dried them and repeated the process one more time.

 I removed masks, added extra shades on lilies and colored green parts with colored pencils and fine liners. Dimension was missing, so I colored shades using grey colored pencil.

Then I heat embossed in black word ‘Mama’, which is Croatian for mom.

Lastly, I drew brown dots on lilies using fine liner and added some white highlights with white gel pen and the card was finished. :o)


Card dimensions: 95 mm x  133 mm (3 3/4" x 5 1/4")

  • Jane's Doodles 'Lily' stamp set
  • Jane's Doodles 'Mother's Day' stamp set

Card and Tag for my Mom (Paru's Card Making Challenges May 2018 GDT)


Happy Friday! :o)

I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer at Paru's Card Making Challenges for this month, after I won in her March 2018 challenge. :o)

 Theme for this month is Mother's Day. Wonderful theme!!


And here is my take on the challenge: Card and Tag for my Mom. :o)


I’ll send these to her as soon as possible to receive them prior Mother’s  Day, which is annually held here in Croatia on the second Sunday of May, as in the most parts of the World.
How I made my card and tag...

To make these two, I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Lily' and 'Mother's Day'.

With some masking, I stamped lilies on a watercolor paper panel and colored them in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I added some shades onto petals with colored pencils. 

 Then I heat embossed in black word ‘Mama’, which is Croatian for mom.

 I glued the panel on a card base, added some white dots and highlights with white gel pen and my card was finished. :o)



Next up was the tag. I don’t make tags often, so this was quite a challenge for me. The simplest way to deal with this challenge was to go with same design as on the card. I did everything same as on the  card, just skipped heat embossing.

 After coloring and drying, I cut the tag shape on my die-cutting machine, punched a hole in a tag, added some ribbon and my tag was finished. :o)


Card dimensions: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

Tag dimensions: 36 mm x 59 mm (1 7/16" x 2 5/16")

List of supplies:
  • Jane's Doodles 'Lily' stamp set
  • Jane's Doodles 'Mother's Day' stamp set

Hi everyone! :o)

I blended Distress Inks directly on a white top folded card base, splattered the card with water and Distress Inks mixed with water.

When I was satisfied with colors and splatters, I glued a white die-cut rose over blended colors. I got this one and many many more from friend Valentina of Barvito malo mesto. Thank you Valentina!! :o)

As a finishing touch, I coated rose die-cut with Clear Wink of Stella. Unfortunately, the weather this week was awful and I couldn't catch the shimmer on photos.
