Afternoon, hope your Sunday has been a good one.
I have been lucky enough to spend time with both my kids, Mothers Day has mixed emotions for me, but what I take great comfort from is that both Steve and Amber did actually WANT to be with me today. Im sure I dont need to tell you that not everybody was born to good decent nurturing parents, you would have to drag me by the hair to get me in the same room as either of my biological parents, yep I just said that out loud, deep breaths.
Lets get on to Speed Craft Sunday quickly!
I started with coloured card for a change, I love Black and Yellow.
I stamped the large butterfly and small butterfly, then placed a piece of acetate over the card to position the small butterfly on the other side-there would still be ink on the stamp so you can end up marking your card while trying to achieve the correct postion.
Then I covered the butterflies with masks and brushed black ink around the edges, next I inked up a piece of bubble wrap with the same black ink, this bubble wrap has little bubbles, then lay the wrap over the card and rub lightly in the central area only, this gives a softer random spread of pattern.
Remove masks and then add little accents with white pen. Create two matching strips to stamp Line Sentiments onto, and mount everything up on a 7 inch card blank.
Time to create, about 18 minutes.
Thanks for popping in, I appreciate it.
As the saying goes, it's a good job you can choose your friends cos you're stuck with your family. Fortunately you get to spend time with both your kids and that is great plus you have some great friends that love you loads. I love this card - super, striking and elegant. Fabulous. Xxxxx
ReplyDeleteLovely card, the yellow & black look is striking. Glad you had a good day with your children.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter & grandaughters have just taken my Mom home after a lovely lunch cooked by my husband.
I know I am lucky to still have my Mom & cherish every day. Although my daughter says Mom at 90 has a busier social life than she does.
Fabulous, I saved a piece of bubble wrap from one of my presents today. I was very spoilt by my kids today and I am so pleased you got to spend time with both of yours.. I love the card, fabulous. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Maria and glad you had a good day with your children.
ReplyDeleteAmazing card Maria - so striking! Glad you had a Happy Mother's Day with your children today. I know too many people who don't get along with their parents, and know I'm so lucky to have mine who have always loved and supported me unconditionally. x
ReplyDeleteLovely card Maria,so glad you had a lovely day with your son and daughter, sorry to hear of your experience with your parents- makes me realise how lucky I have been
ReplyDeleteI’ve also been lucky to spend the afternoon with all three of my living children - all grown up now and three of my four grandchildren
I so love your artwork and inspiration x
Love the card. It may have taken you 18 minutes but it would have taken me at least an hour because I faff about too much!😀
ReplyDeleteOh a beautiful card Maria. Love the two colour effect and the bubble wrap gives a lovely effect.
ReplyDeleteI hope your day with Steve and Amber was a special one. I had a great day with my sons and am glad they give me crafting gifts and not flowers!!
