I really like stamp sets with big bold flowers as they are very easy to colour, especially if you are using watercolour mediums or as I did on this card, alcohol markers. The stamp set I used is form Avery Elle and it's called Magnolia. I coloured it with the Altenew alcohol markers using the pack Red Sunset for the reds and Green Fields for the greens.
I stamped the flower using the Versafine ink in Onyx black. The flower and the stem are two separate stamps, so I had to do a little bit of masking, when stamping the stem. I used the Post-it note with a full adhesive for that. The card stock I used is the Bristol paper from Canson, I think it works really well with the markers.
To colour the flower I used two shades for each colour, more specifically:
The reds: Rouge (R301) and Blush (R400) The greens: Frayed Leaf (G715) and Forest Glades (G702) There are two ways I usually colour to create depth. I either start with the darkest shade at the bottom or where I think a shadow would be (e.g. overlapping leafs or petals) or I start with the lightest shade, then I apply the darker shade and then I blend it again with the lightest shade. After I was finished with the colouring I used my scissors to cut out the whole flower.
Next I wanted to create a background and to do that I used a stencil with a brick wall pattern and an embossing paste. I didn't want to waste any paper, therefore I applied the paste directly onto a white card base. I placed the stencil first and secured it with a washi tape and then I used a palette knife to apply the embossing paste. I didn't apply the paste all over the background, I wanted the application to be slightly imperfect.
Before I assembled the card and while the paste was drying I worked on the greeting. I used the sentiment "Heartfelt Thangs", which is a part of the stamp set. If you want to make it into a Mother's Day card, just change the greeting. This sentiment I stamped onto a black card stock using the Versamark ink and then I heat embossed it with a white embossing powder. After that I cut it into a banner and so it's not too thick I cut around the letters in the word "heartfelt".
Lastly I adhered the flower and the greeting on top of the card base with the brick background using a double-sided foam tape.
