Happy Mother's Day!

Hello everyone!

Eny here, with two sweet cards I designed using using OddBall images #537 No Drama Llama Cute and Snarky, and #456 Cute Little Fuzzy Birds Shit Happens . I wanted to make something simple to celebrate mother's day and these images were perfect for such an occasion.  Proving, that you can truly "alter" any stamp to fit your needs.

For the Drama Llama image, I used InkScape to invert the Llama , resize and position the images to create a cuddly scene. Our feathered friends were already the perfect size, so I only had to position them closer to each other.
 I have a very simple pictorial to share with you, that hopefully will inspire you to dig up some stamps, or get some new ones, to create some fun cards!

I first print and color all images, using ArtNFly Colored Pencils

On a white smooth cardstock i use two stencils to create my background. I first use Paige Taylor Evans heart stencil with Distress Oxide Worn Lipstick. I then layer on top of that a cloud stencil i made, using Distress Inks Shaded Lilac and Spun Sugar. I trim down the cardstock to be a standard A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50)

I use a the largest of a Scalloped Oval die set i have, to cut two solid colored cardstock. These will be the base for my images.

I fussy cut both images and then layer on top of my die cuts, using foam adhesive.

You can use a sentiment from any other stamp set you own, or create one on your computer using nay program like Microsoft Word. This one in particular is from Crafters Companion.

Add details and dimension with some enamel accents, and your card is ready for a new home.

 I hope you and yours are doing well during this time. This Mothers Day is surely a very different one. I know many are also without their mothers and it can be a very difficult day. I hope that you can find peace of mind and heart, by pouring your soul in to whatever brings you happiness.
