Muse DT 204



                                    


On March the 28th its Mothers day here in the UK and I'm getting mine done early as my mother- in -law will be away for that weekend.

But this card is sooo out of my comfort zone! But this card is also for my mother-in law and she likes  a bit more on her cards and I cant help but notice that only these style of cards get a 'oh this is pretty!' when she opens it :) and I really struggle with them, but it is her day so we will go with it - after all that's what card making is about isn't it? getting it right for the recipient!

 It might have looked better if I hadn't discovered that I had run out of watercolour card so had to use promarkers and I always seem to be heavy handed with them and they don't seem to blend as well so apologies for the colouring...... but I'm sure you can do much better!!! 
I counted the layers if you include the rose and the diecuts and the card base its 7!:) I also used diecuts and a stencil for the brick work behind the rose...though in the photo I know its very hard to see.

But thank you for taking the time to pop in by for a look hope you are inspired to join us over at Muse this week.

  2. PS, despite the 7 layers, this still looks clean and fresh to me. And I think the rose is beautifully coloured. I'm sure she will love it!

  6. Seven layers is definitely outside the box for you, Jenni, but no one would ever know! Every layer is cohesive, it is still crisp and clean, and I think your coloring is fantastic on the nonwatercolor paper! She will treasure it!! Hugs, Darnell

  8. Hi Jenni, well, I wouldn't have guessed this was outside your comfort zone, because it really is a beauty.
    Your MIL and my Mum must be cut from the same cloth. That response is exactly why I persevere with flower stamps, and your card definitely inspired me to get them out, so thank you.
