One for Mum

Today was Mother's Day in the UK.  So I'm going to share the card I made for my mum with you.



I thought it cool to do them in a lesser know orange variety, I've used Copics to do that :)
I've also used a black liner pen and a white gel pen.

The Happy Mother's Day sentiment was printed at the same time as the image.  I've kept the card CAS to showcase the image and used some other techniques on the background to make it look more vintage styled.


The images was framed with black card, both have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.  I've also distressed the image with Vintage Photo ink from Tim Holtz.  I've used the same ink and a stencil to add in the words to the background.  Finally I've added two different colours of embossing enamel.

Thanks for taking a look today
