Winnie & Walter - The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom

A companion set to yesterday's winnie & walter The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad, we have The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom. Again, so many different images to pick from, wait until you see it!

Not sure if you remember the man silhouette from yesterday, but here is a coordinating woman silhouette. I liked the overlapping spaces that somewhat highlight her facial features. And so happy to find that the "you" (from another set coming up in this release) fits the silhouette perfectly. The rest of the sentiment "are amazing" is also from that upcoming set that you'll want to keep your eyes on.

Keeping the brand new Virginia's View challenge in mind, the background was colored with Inktense Wax Crayons and blended with a water pen. So excited to see Virginia's challenge take off so quickly, and even get its own blog!

This next card is headed to Virginia's View as well. I brushed watercolor paint on the three differently sized flowers included with this set and then stamped. Love how each time you get a different result ... it does all the work for you! On several of the flowers I stamped a smaller flower in gold pigment ink for the center. Since the overall card has a soft feel to it, the sentiment is stamped in gray instead of a harsh black.

The deeper shade of pink on the inside of the card provides some balance, I think. You may have noticed that I line many of my cards with patterned paper. I've been asked about writing a message on the inside of the card. When it's time to send the card, I typically grab from a stack of white marquis shapes, slice off a side, line that up with the right edge of the inside of the card, and write my message on that space. Then add a few scrap embellishments from my drawer of misfits.
   
       

This last card caused some shock with Logan, my 9 year-old. I stamped MOM in orange, rotated it slightly around the "O" and stamped again. At this point, Logan peeked over my shoulder and exclaimed, "Mom, what are you doing?! You messed up on your card!!" Ye of little faith. I continued rotating and stamping until I got a circle, colored in one of the MOMs with marker, and colored the remaining MOMs with colored pencil. Then I showed Logan the MOM flower. "Oh wow, that looks really cool Mom!!" Boy did that make me super-happy : )



Here's the rest of the card, with all three MOM flowers. I had Dr. Seuss' The Lorax in mind when I made these. The simple sentiment in type writer font is from tomorrow's set, and the stars are from Scenery: Big Bang Confetti.

Only one more set left. You will seriously not want to miss this one! I predict that it will fly off the shelves faster than the Big Bold and Happy sentiment set from the last release. Will be anxious to see. There are some amazing projects waiting for you by the Talent, and our awesome guest designer Angie Tieman!
