A Touch of Ink Mother's Day Card

If you have followed my card tutorials here on my blog you will know how much I love the A Touch Of Ink Stamp set. I pulled it out and made a Mother's Day card. It's by far one of my favorite cards and its such a beautiful layout. You just need to change up the sentiment.

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock

1 - 5 1/4"x 4" piece of Paper Blooms DSP

Scrap pieces of Basic White cardstock

Scrap pieces of Crumb Cake cardstock

A Touch of Ink stamp set

Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set

Memento Black ink

Rococo Rose ink

Crumb Cake Blends

Versamark ink

White Embossing Powder

Heat Embossing Gun

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock and cut it down to 4 1/4"x11" and score it at 5 1/2" along the long side. I went ahead and adhered the DSP to the front of the card right away.

I stamped the floral outline in Memento Black on Basic White cardstock twice. I then used the corresponding stamp and colored it in Rococo Rose ink. I stamped the outline of the hummingbird in Memento Black and then I used the Crumb Cake blends to color it in. I started with the light blend and just colored the whole image, with the dark blend I colored along all the lines. This gave the hummingbird depth. I then cut out all the images with my paper snips.

I took my scrap piece of Crumb Cake and I heat embossed the sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings onto it. I cut the sentiment down to the size I wanted.

I then adhered the floral images together interlocking the stems together behind the floral part. I then adhered them to the front of the card keeping on the DSP but in the lower right hand side. I then adhered the Hummingbird over top of the florals. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhered the sentiment to the front of the card.

Both the stamp set and the DSP were from the January-February Sale-a-bration and are now retired products but I enjoy digging into my stash of craft supplies to use some of those products. I encourage you to do the same!

Happy Paper Crafting!
