Say Love with Flowers

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings2 Comments

Mother’s Day is not far off and it was time to sit down and put together a card for my own mother. I wanted something a little different and by chance, I came across a company called Dreamerland Crafts and I fell in love with this image. Besides the fact that the image is adorable, I was drawn to the challenge of coloring that carnation. I wanted to see if I could capture the folds and depth of the real thing. Although I can’t really compete with Mother Nature, I think I came close enough for this card.

And as for my mother – luckily, she doesn’t have internet access so she won’t see this until it arrives in the mail.

Best Mom in the World

PPMAR1603D_TulipsInHobnailPitcher_largeSince Mother’s Day is just around the corner, I figured I’d better get a card ready to send my own mother. I knew that she would love this image from Power Poppy, but I wanted to incorporate her favorite color. As it turns out, there is such as thing as blue tulips so after looking at lots of images on Google, I decided upon the blue and violets flowers that you see here.

This color combination really pushed me out of my comfort zone. I still have trouble shading and blending any of the violet combinations so I usually avoid them. But once I picked out the blue combinations, I knew that putting the extra work into blending the violets would be worth it if the end result was an extra special card.

Because after all, I have the best mom in the world.

Spring For Sale!

Here’s another Mo Manning digital stamp that I’ve had for awhile. For some reason, I was feeling a little intimidated by it so I put it to the side, but once I started coloring it all started to fall into place. It’s a nice image for a Mother’s Day card so I have one card ready to go.
