OCC Clear & Sheer Day 2

For Day 2, I chose to make some Mother's Day cards and use the tip of breaking up a busy patterned paper with vellum panel.  

I colored the Bears and Elephants with Spectrum Noir, heat embossed the sentiments with Ranger Copper Super Fine Detail powder.  I had  some cork Heart embellishments that I colored with a red marker and glued with Multi Medium Matte.  I adhered the Bear/Elephant with tape runner and on the back of the vellum adhered with tape runner where the animal was.  I also used some Multi Medium Matte under the hearts for an additional point of attachment.  

Paper: Authentique Nestled 6X6, Paper Trey Ink Kraft cardstock

Stamp: Hero Arts Lil' Hoot

Embellishments: Studio Calico Hearts

Mother's Day Cards

This is my favorite card that I've made so far. I gave it to my mom for Mother's Day.  Sorry for the picture quality, I forgot to take a pic before giving it to mom, so I took it after I gave it to her.

Inspiration for the card came from a Pin someone posted and the original post was from SplitCoastStampers.

I just loved the image play and how she incorporated the birds.

This is the one I gave to my Mother-in-Law for Mother's Day.  Also forgot to take a picture of this one before giving it to mom.

And my inspiration came from one of my favorite card making blogs Simplicity.  Her blog title says it all; the sheer genius and beauty in such simple cards is truly inspiring.   

And I've really been subscribing to her rule of thirds.
