I have to say, this card is my absolute favorite so far!! If you know me personally, you’ll know that this totally fits my personality quite well. =) I will be sending this to my brother and future sister-in-law who just purchased their first home and are getting married in just a matter of days!

I LOVE the stamp sets (supplies listed below) and the paper is super cute too! Can’t get enough of it, I may have to get a second pad of it! And I absolutely love the watercolor effect – I use watercolor pencils and then add water to blend the colors together, and it worked well for the toasts to look a bit ” toasty” and slightly burnt around the edges. And just because I love this stamp set so much, I decided to add a little something in the interior of the card.

Here is the video on how I made this card from start to finish:

OK this video thing is getting addicting! I have 2 cards here, both for Mother’s Day. One of them is for a friend’s gift exchange, another is for my own mom’s gift package, who lives out of town.

Card #1

For this card, I clear embossed the rose across the background and white embossed a single rose with a few branches. Then I sponge colored the single rose and leaves with distress inks and blended the colors together. I am really liking this way of coloring my stamped images. I can see how addicting distress inks can be!

Card #2

This second card I also used distress inks, but I watercolored instead.

Another video! It was a lot of different stamping techniques, but well worth it!
By the way, I can’t take credit for the idea/layout of this card – I saw someone make this on pinterest, and I just had to make my own version of it. I previously made one here, with a blue ice cream instead.
