Mother's Day in Purple

Hello there lovelies!  It is Shay here (Winnie is curled up in her chair in the studio helping out in her own special way) with a simple and easy Mother's Day card I made for my purple loving grandma.

w&w stamps used: Parentville + You've Got Love Mail

If purple doesn't suit you or for the person you are sending a card it is very easy to change up the color palette.  Another way to customize this simple card is to create a different design other than a burst.

I began by watercoloring a background on watercolor paper using some Caran d'Ache Neocolor II water-soluble wax pastels in purples, a pale blue and pink.  I colored in the burst design--this is another way to alter how the image appears as you could color in a circular motion, horizontally, diagonally or some other direction.  Watercolor paints of your choice would work equally well here.

 
With a water brush I painted in the burst.  I then sewed on a layer of vellum over the watercolor panel.  This was all attached to a white card base with foam dimensional adhesive.  I white embossed a script heart from You've Got Love Mail and watercolored it in and sprayed it with shimmery sprays (this was actually sitting on my worktable waiting to be used).  I attached the heart to a banner cut with a Papertrey Ink die and stamped with the sentiment from Parentville in soft purple Hero Arts Shadow Ink.  Last I added some pretty sequins.

This card was quite fast to make and it is full of pretty purples which I hope my grandma will appreciate.
