Mother's Day Swan

It's the beginning of a new week and I'm hoping it's the beginning of getting my creative mojo back again. I know I am not alone when I say that my mind hasn't been settled lately nut the weather is getting nicer and better times have got to be on the way. I am getting ahead a bit and have created a couple of Mother's Day cards for my two favourite Mom's using the new Lawn Fawn Swan Soiree stamp set. Also a bit of colouring for the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge.

My background was created by making my own stencil using a grass border die that I cut from a piece of lightweight cardstock. I started with the top piece and I ink blended my grass going downwards using Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks. Then I used the bottom portion of my stencil to cover the grass and blend upwards with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to create my sky. I trimmed my panel and stamped my sentiment to the top.

I cut a piece of grey Lawn Fawn Gotta to Have Gingham patterned paper to 5 1/4" x 4" and taped it to my card base. The ink blended panel was attached using foam tape.

The other elements from the stamp set were stamped, die cut and coloured with Copics markers. Then I created my pond scene by adhered the elements with foam tape for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today!
