Happy Mother's Day!

I want to wish all the Mommas out there a happy Mother's Day today!  I'm sad that I can't be with my mom on this Mother's Day but I hope she'll enjoy her special flower gift.  I picked 'em just for her.  I also made this cute little card to continue the love greetings in her mailbox.  

I used the cute little cuddle bear from the new Joy Clair set called Mother's Day Love because my nickname is Kerbear.  I also collect teddy bears.  This image just tugged at my heart and made me want to give my mom a big hug. 

To create my card, I started out by stamping the flower image (from the set Doodle Flowers) using my Versafine Clair Charming Pink and Memento Angel Pink.  After that, I used my Misti to stamp the bears with Memento Tuxedo Black onto white cardstock.  I colored the bears with my Copic Markers.  

I cut a little strip of Lawn Fawn Plaid paper into some grassy shape and distressed it with Memento ink then attached it to my paper (also distressed the bottom with Memento ink).  I fussy cut the bears and popped them up on the page with my foam squares.  

This set has a great collection of mix-and-match sentiments so I picked the words I most use when I'm chatting with Mom.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Again, I wish you Mommas...Especially mine a very happy Mother's Day!  

Out of this World!

Hi again inky friends!  I'm back in a flash with another adoooorrrrable card featuring the new Out of This World stamp set from Joy Clair.  This was such a fun and easy card to create so get your Gelli Plate and your ink pads ready and let's have fun!  

To create the fun background, I swiped some ink (directly from the Memento dewdrop pad) to the Gelli Plate.  I laid my paper onto the inked plate and lifted up the impression.  I did this a few times with a couple different Memento colors and oh yeah...It ended up deeelish!  After that, I stamped a few stars and dots and added some sparkle washi for pizaaaaazzz...

I stamped the UFO with black Memento ink twice (once onto some leftover Gelli Printed paper and then once on white cardstock).  I paper pieced the green part of the paper onto the other UFO that I colored with colored pencils.  To finish the card off, I punched a few stars, added some twine and mounted the card onto some bright and alien-ish cardstock.  A little gold flicked here and there just made the card complete!
