Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I got to spend it with my mom, celebrating her 70th birthday. What a special woman she is...truly, I am so lucky to have her as mine. She wanted to spend the day with Sierra, so we went to a movie, did a little junking, and met up for lunch with my husband and Grandpa later in the day. I'm so thankful for her and the gift she has been and continues to be in my life.
Today I have a card to share with you that I created for a Papertrey Ink Make it Monday tutorial. I used a new to me product called Viva Decor 3-D Stamp Paint and loved getting messy while experimenting. I combined this paint with a Papertrey Ink Impression Plate as well as rubbing it over a stamped vellum feather to color the vellum and make it shine. Lots of fun.
I used Papertrey Ink's Feather Finery stamp and dies. For more information you can visit Nichole Heady's blog and watch the tutorial there.
Here is a favorite find from the weekend with my mom. She and I love the same things and both scooped up one of these sweet handmade nests. Now whenever I look at it, I think of her :).
Enjoy your day!
Melissa
What a wonderful way to celebrate your Mom's special day. The card is truly gorgeous! Enjoy today. Hugs.
