Thought I'd add a bit of MOM to the Spring Challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week. After seeing the beautiful bloomin' trees in the inspiration photo, I was drawn to purple and since lilacs are one of my all time favorite flowers, I colored my image to represent those blissful smelling buds.
I started off with a Wisteria Wonder base, layered a piece of embossed Rich Razzleberry on top and then finished off my color combo with a Lucky Limeade.
My flower was stamped onto a piece of WaterColorPaper in Black StazOn Ink. I used a few different shades of purple and green WaterColorCrayons and applied those with my Auqa Pen. After it dried, I added the pearls and a bit of Smooch Pearlized Top Coat for a bit of shimmer.
My sentiment actually said "you're my favorite thing" so I just colored the words I wanted to show with my Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write Marker and then added the word MOM, popping the center 'O' for a bit more depth. Isn't it 'tweet'?! :)

OH, Because I Care is in my "keeper" collection! You did a wonderful job with that beautiful flower! Are Color Wonder crayons harder to use than just Stampin' Write marker watercolors? I've never been brave enough to try. Once again, a supremely pretty card!
Now I'm wishing I kept this set. I love the colors you chose and the cute little frame peeking out behind the mom. Your mom will love this!! On a side note, that bird is so cute and perfect for this theme. :)
Dawn I love your card! What a perfect card to send to your mom.
Yummy, yummy, yummy! Everything is so awesome on your card. I am really loving the colors and the texture and all the added details. The hydrangea is beautifully colored--yum! Smiles, Elizabeth

So pretty and great use of the inspiration photo! I love lilacs...they smell so yummy! There was a bush this spring on my run route and I LOVED running past it...I was so sad when it got super hot super early and they all turned brown:(
