Step-by-Step Instructions To Make the Adore You Mother’s Day Card

Adore You Mother’s Day Card Background

• Make a white A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) side folding card base.  Instructions on how to do so can be found HERE.
• Trim a piece of kraft cardstock to A2 size.
• Place the cardstock in the center of your stamp wheel.  Following that, arrange stamps from the Adore You set so that they cover the card panel.  TIP:  Be sure to have some of the stamps go off the edge of the panel.  We do this because it looks better than to have all of them inside.
• Once you have the stamps the way you want them pick them up with the lid of the stamp wheel.
• Brush the cardstock with anti-static powder.
• After that, ink the stamps up with white pigment ink and then heat emboss them with white embossing powder.  Instructions on how to heat emboss can be found HERE.

Paint the Adore You Mother’s Day Card Background

• Watercolor the floral images using pink, yellow, and green ink.
• Begin by smooshing the ink on a non-porous surface.  After that add a small pool of water for each color.
• Next, dab a watercolor brush marker in the water and then pick up some of the yellow ink.  Once you have your brush loaded apply the yellow to the centers of each of the flowers.
• Additionally, add some more yellow on the petals where they meet the centers.
• Clean the brush marker on a piece of paper towel.
• Paint all of the underneath sides of the petal with pink.
• Continuing with the pink, paint along the edges of each petal.
