Mama volim te (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles. My project for today is a card I made for my Mom for Mother's Day. She loves violet color and butterflies, so do I. :o) Inspired with mixed media project I made two months ago, I made this card for her.

I used gorgeous Jane's Doodles stamp set, Butterflies. I love this stamp set so much and I use it a lot! :o)

I used Note Sheet patterned paper as a background/panel, colored it with different inks and when I was satisfied with the color, I stamped butterflies on the panel colored them with different mediums and added white highlights with white pen.

Then I masked butterflies, stamped more butterflies with white chalk ink and splattered panel with white acrylic paint. White splatters were pale, so I used white pen to accent them and I drew some extra dots with it. :o)

I used découpage glue and varnish due crafting process to fix colors.

I wrote a sentiment on computer (MS Word, text box tool). It's on Croatian and says: Mom I Love You. 

After printing, I cut out sentiment in to three pieces, drew frames with white pen and glued them on the panel. I glued the panel on a white cardstock base, rounded corners and my card was finished.

Dimensions: 88 mm x 133 mm (3 1/2 " x 5 1/4")

Cake

For today's Blog Hop I made two same design, CAS (clean and simple), Birthday Cake Cards.

Both cakes are paper pieced.

For the blue cake, I masked two stamps from the set, to got more masculine look of the cake. :o)

I colored pieces I needed in watercolor technique, fussy cut them, colored edges with black permanent pen and glued all pieces together.

 

I stamped sentiment on white cardstock panels, glued 3-D foams on the back of both panels and glued them on card bases. I also glued 3-D foams on the back of both cakes and glued them on cards. I love dimension on cards. :o)
