Happy Birthday Momma Bear!!


Hey,

Welcome to August!

Today is my Momma's birthday and I was lucky enough to see her last week.

The beautiful card I am posting today is actually for a friend and not for my Momma, as I was an idiot and didn't photograph her card. I know she loves this card though, so I thought it would be a great one to post today.

I actually did the colouring for this card during the most recent 30 Day Colouring challenge - hosted by the marvelous Kathy Rac.

I love this technique of heat embossing a large stamp and then watercolouring it - especially a floral stamp.


For this one, I used gold embossing powder, distress inks to watercolour with and added some inky splatters when I was done. The stamp I used is from Ellen Hutson and is called Mondo Sakura.

Here's a little photo of me and my parents last year on Momma's birthday when we went to Runnymede and had a very English day out - picnic, feeding ducks, drinking tea and listening to the cricket.

Happy Birthday Momma Bear, I love you.

  2. This is just beautiful, Claire! Gorgeous colors and watercoloring! So nice you were able to visit your mom last year. I had to laugh about your comment about your mom and the tomatoes! That happens to us in our compost pile too. Currently we have an orange and a white pumpkin growing quite nicely! While in the garden, stuff is barely growing. Go figure!
