PaperTrey Ink - Graduation 2025

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a graduation card using a retired stamp set from PaperTrey Ink - "For the Graduate".  It's a simple card with randomly stamped graduation caps and sentiment in black ink on a white panel.  I added some sparkle with a strip of glitter cardstock adhered to the stamped panel.  The stamped panel was adhered with pop dots to the black and white grid background, which is patterned paper from PaperTrey Ink.

Watercolor flowers - Mother's Day

Happy Saturday and Mother's Day!

Today I have the Mother's day card I made for my mom.  I got a new watercolor set and was playing around creating free-hand flowers.  

I created several images when experimenting, some I water colored the blooms then added a black pen outline and others I drew some flowers and water colored them.  The watercolor set I found on Amazon, Grabie is the brand.  The paints are in a metal travel carrying case and came with several brushes.  


I used a Unity postage stamp die to mat the water colored image. To add some texture and interest, I used a Spellbinders 3D embossing folder called Efflorescent Flora, which was Jan 2024 Embossing folder of the month.  The base card is PaperTrey Ink Aqua Mist.

I made a few more images with multi-color flowers. Paring them with pink and purple base cards.  They make great any occasion cards.
