Hapy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to everyone. I gave this card to my mom several hours ago and she seemed to like it very much. I also gave her a hand stamped trivet using the Medallion stamp. I'll have to get a picture of that, I forgot too before I gave it to her.

• The wing of the bird on the 2 step bird punch makes a great petal for these tulips, and a little sponging gives them some depth.
• Lap of Luxury dsp was used along with Pretty In Pink for the card base.
• The stems are also from the 2 step bird punch.
• Teeny Tiny Wishes was used for the sentiment.

Night Bird Zindorf Style

I love this card. I totally cased it from Michelle Zindorf but when I am able to make something that turns out like this I am so happy. I got the chance to go to one of her workshops in October and have been so thrilled that I did that. I learned a lot that day and came home with three  beautiful cards and the ability to make as many as I want. She has a unique way of using the brayer.

• Mask off the moon by punching a circle and then moving the punch to get the crescent moon shape on a post it note and applying it to the whisper white card stock before the brayering is done. Remove it and you have a nice bright moon.
• The two step bird punch is turned into a cardinal by adding that little piece of black card stock by her eye. Then sponge black on the bottom of the bird and the wing and highlight the top with the white gel pen.
