Clean and Simple Cards for Mom

Wednesday, April 29th, 2020

I don’t normally do simple cards but I want to challenge myself to create some. I used the Garden Friends stamp set from Crafter’s Companion with Arteza Real Brush Pens to watercolor and create two clean and simple cards for Mother’s Day. Using brown instead of black ink helps giving a softer storybook look.

More Mer-May

I’m so excited to share with you a card using some adorable new stamps from Hello Sweetums. They are an Australian based company but not to worry if you’re in the US you can get them on-line at Simon Says Stamp and Butterfly Reflections Ink. I made this card with their Seas the Day stamps, matching dies and Stargazer stencil using Arteza Brush Pen to watercolor.
