Mom's Birthday


It's my Mother In Law's birthday on the 13th and this is the card I have made for her.

She absolutely loves Fuchsias so I decided to use this digital image from Beccy's Place. This is a free image on her site and she also includes a colour version.

I coloured the image using a combination of Spectrum Noir and Promarkers. I recently bought a mystery bag from Crafters Companion and there were 2 packs of Spectrum Noir pens in it. Having used Promarkers exclusively for the last few years I was surprised how good these pens were. The pink is really bright and there was no streaking at all. I added gel pens to the stamen.

The image is matted onto pink card. The purple card has been cut with a square die set Layers, Frames & Banners from Julie Hickey Designs.

The base card has been covered with a green paper from Hot Off The Press. Using a Mandala die from Crafter's Companion I cut a lace edged piece pice of card. It is quite a thick card and the die was very intricate but has cut very well.

I added some rich purple ribbon. A sentiment panel from Craftwork Cards has been matted onto scraps of card and mounted on 3d foam. I have added a mixture of flowers from my stash and some gems. Finally a Mum peel off from Docrafts completes the card.

Card Details -

Size - 8" x 8"
Image - Fuchsia from Beccy's Place
Colouring Medium - Promarkers & Spectrum Noir
Embellishments - Flowers, gems


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order)

  3. I'm sure your Mum-in-law is going to love this Mandy, it's so pretty and you've done a brilliant job colouring the flowers. The die cut lace panel is beautiful and adds so much texture to the card. I also like the purple ribbon you added, it coordinates perfectly with all the other elements on the card. Lovely.
    Cheers,
    Beccy

  5. A beautiful card Mandy. Fuchsia's are so delicate and colourful. As a child I can remember picking the blooms in a neighbour's garden and pretending they were earrings. With the neighbour's permission of course.
    A gorgeous card that I am sure will be much admired.
