Here's the card and apologies it didn't get posted much earlier:
- PSX image found recently, had been colored with copics. Went back over the tulips to get more contrast, added some clear WoStella to the flowers, silver WoStella to the bucket. Die cut with S/B Label 12, DI spun sugar smudged around the die.
- MB Geneva vine, using the white cardstock of a birthday card sent by our insurance company. Colored the vine with WoLuna green, and copic R81 & R83 used for the tulip flowers. The colored die cut was separated into 3 different sections to fit where needed.
- Background DP from a 6x6 pad.
- Offray white lace tinted by using few drops of R81 refill ink in a bag, smooshing. This lace took quite a bit of ink. The cotton lace really soaked up the ink.
I hope that all the Mothers (and everyone else) had a wonderfully happy day. Our air conditioning finally had to go on. Set the thermostat lowered than we normally have it, left for the late lunch. It was quite cool when we came home again. DH headed for the recliner. Our DSIL took a love seat from our basement room - where all my stamp stuff is - so I have a worse mess now than before. I had thought to go do some rearranging - but - a nap seemed a better idea. It was Mother's Day, I'm a Mother, and so.......
Thanks for joining me. Hugs. Have a great coming week.
Very pretty card Mary, glad to hear you took advantage of some nap time on Mothers day, your day to do whatever you want :) Cathy x
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned, you couldn't have posted anything prettier on this Mother's Day. Tulips are my favorite flower...probably said that a million times. Ha
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous with the die cut vine and pretty, dyed lace.
Your sil sounds like a really nice guy. Wish your daughter could have been there. I know you do, too.
Extra special card today Mary. Happy that your day went reasonably well.
ReplyDeleteI cooked a meal for my dear Jill for mothers day. Visited our daughter to wish her a happy birthday and our grand daughter a happy birthday.
Lovely card, Mary. I love tulips. Sounds as if you had a nice day. I got a nap, too :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you even if it is a bit late.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty card Mary. We had Mothering Sunday at the end of March over here but my daughter and son-in-law are are on holiday in America at the moment so I got greetings from them a second time!
ReplyDeleteMary happy belated Mother's Day. So glad you had a lovely day, pity your daughter couldn't be there but life often gets in the way, and as you say relocating isn't on the cards at the moment. Your card is beautiful. Hazel xx

I'm so glad you didn't organized and took it easy on Mother's Day instead Momma Mary. And it was sweet that DSIL came down to take you to lunch! This card is gorgeous!! I love that image of the tulips, they are so pretty and of course you have them colored so pretty. I bet the wostella looks to pretty on them too! I love the lace dyed, but I'm sure it did take a lot of ink to dye it. Loving the vine tulips too, the vine part looks really good with the luna pens. Love that paper from the paper pack too, goes so perfect with your image. Hugs
ReplyDeleteGlad you had your nap, that is VERY important :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love the added die, perfect shape for the tulips.
Hope all is well.
What a gorgeous card!! The flowers are so beautiful!! You colored them perfectly!! Love, love it!! Happy Monday :)

I hope you enjoyed your nap and the rest of your Mother's Day. Love these pretty tulips and how you're dying ribbon and lace to match the ink. Our air conditioner has been on for a week now. Jack and I were outside a few minutes ago to eat a popsicle and we came back inside as soon as it was gone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Mary and what better excuse for a nap than Mother's Day! huggles Sue xx
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed a nice mother's day yesterday! These tulips are so so pretty, and I love the image! Happy napping in the a/c!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of your tulips. glad you had a nice Mothers Day.
ReplyDeleteIt rained and poured almost all day here and fined up at tea time just long enough for a rainbow to appear for a few mins. hugs Mrs a.
Love the top of the tulips coming off of the die cut panel. The extra vines and leaves around the border add some wonderful interest, too. This is beauiful, Mary.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely lunch and beautiful weather. Your card is so pretty and I love the colors you used. Hope you have time to play with the water color class. I'm really loving it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a very relaxing day, as it should be! Great card! I miss PSX stamps; they always had such nice things. I love that the card base is a recycled and that the lace matches the tulips so well (good dye job!).
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Mary. Carol x
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card! Love how you have the tulips out of the die cut. Pretty shades of pink and the DP is perfect with them along with the home dyed ribbon! Glad you were able to get in a little nap on Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteLovely tulips, and the cotton lace looks gorgeous! I'm glad you managed a nap on Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteHow hard it must be for your DD and DSIL. I hope they find a solution soon!
love Mags B x
This is gorgeous, Mary! I have that tulip stamp so I appreciate the inspiration!! Hugs, Darnell
