Sketch Inspired Mother's Day Card

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I created this card with the sketch below as inspiration. The sketch was made for a scrapbook layout which can also be used for a card. 

I started off by applying watercolor to scrap strips of watercolor paper. I have plenty of these strips because I trim the watercolor paper to 8 1/2" x 11" especially when I will be feeding this paper through a toner printer. I set this aside to dry.

Once the strips are dry, I die cut the strips using the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Slimline Strip. Most of the strips are about the same size as the width of the strip die. I just wanted to add the stitched detail to the watercolored strips.

Following the sketch, I created a chevron pattern using the strips. I adhered this to a scrap piece of paper following a rainbow order for the colors. I trimmed off the excess scrap paper without any strip adhered to it.

I die cut the banners from patterned paper. I trimmed a dark blue patterned paper at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". 

For the sentiments, I stamped these on white cardstock. I heat embossed the main sentiment and fussy cut this leaving a white border around it. I die cut the sub-sentiment using a strip die. I die cut several pieces of these strips and adhered one on top of each other with the stamped sentiment strip on top of the pile. This creates a chipboard-like embellishment. 

I adhered the card elements to the dark blue patterned paper panel starting with the rainbow chevrons. I trimmed off the excess hanging over the back panel. I adhered the banners and the sentiments. I added flower sequins. Using an acrylic marker, I added color to the butterfly sequins. I folded the butterfly sequins at the center. I added glue only to the scored line so the butterfly's wings are raised. I added white pearls to the butterflies to cover the holes. I added black glitter glue to the center of the flower sequins.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
