Feminine

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

Please join me in welcoming Estelle Palumbo back as our guest artist for May! 

We are spotlighting the amazing products of our very own Simon Says Stamp this month! 

 

This week the challenge is: MOTHERS DAY/FEMININE

When I looked at the colors I put together, I thought the Simon Says Stamp Pop of Color stamp set would go perfectly with this.

Mother's Day for me is a bittersweet time. I always think of my mom and the dood memories of times we shared, but it is also the time of year when passed away...it was the early morning hours of the following day that we said our final goodbyes.  I am a mother myself, but it is always my mom that I think of.

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there! 

I stamped my images on watercolor paper, and for the butterfly background, I just left the stamps in place on the sheet and laid my paper over it. Once my ink was totally dry, I went in and blended pink, yellow and orange watercolor to get a bright, spring feel. 

I spritzed a bit of water over my background, then lifted the drops with a paper towel to add some more texture. 

I love these feminine stamps from Alison Bomber because the women look like her. They say to draw or write what you know. 

As I looked at my bright colors, I reached for my Simon Pop Of Color stamps to add the sentiment. I do LOVE color!!!
