Studio Katia | Elegant Mother’s Day Card

Hi crafty friends!

This week over at Studio Katia we’re sharing feminine/Mother’s day cards. And today I’m sharing a Mother’s Day card featuring recently released the Spring Bouquet Stamp Set. Katia’s floral stamps are amazing and this one is not an exception. So beautiful and dainty.

I started making the card with creating the floral element. I white embossed the bouquet onto a watercolor paper and watercolored it. I used my Sakura Koi and Zig Gansai Tambi watercolors. I am not a big expert in watercoloring, maybe it isn’t a good idea to mix watercolors from different sets (which in theory could have different qualities). Usually when I choose colorw to work with I refer to my swatches and pick up those I like. Not paying much attention to brands.

After watercoloring was done I die-cut the bouquet using the matching die.

I die-cut a dotted panel out of Taffy Cardstock using a die from Dotted Patterns Set 1. Then I wrapped some hemp twine around it, tying a bow on the right side.

Let’s take a moment here to talk about hemp twine. I like using any twine really in my cards, but especially I love a hemp one. It’s natural, easy to work with and always adds an elegant and classy touch. With this being said somehow I COMPLETELY forgot that I love it and own a lot (and by “a lot” I mean – A LOT). But making this card I was choosing a twine to use here and suddenly remembered a forgotten draw where I have some random stuff hemp twine included. Oh my… I was so happy to find it. It was like a product from the past, when I used it much often. Such a nostalgic feeling!

I believe in close future you will see me using it very often lol.

Moving on! After that I popped up the panel onto a Rock Candy card base using a sheet of foam.

The spring bouquet was foam mounted onto the panel.

I white embossed a sentiment from the set onto a stripe of Rock Candy Cardstock and foam mounted it onto the card.

Several Snow Crystals finished off the card.

I think this bouquet looks very beautiful in blue. And I like how it stands out against the gray panel.

Have an amazing day!
