Mother’s day card

This is the card I made for my mother for Mother’s Day. As a little kid, I was always picking flowers for her. Looking back, I’m sure I must have brought home a lot of weeds, but she was always happy to get them.

For the background of my flowers I glued gold marbleized paper onto cardstock using gel medium. I glued tissue paper with glitter on it on top of the paper.

I colored the sky with blue soft pastels and the grass with green.

I painted the flowers using puffy paints, and drew in the stems with colored pencils. I colored the edge of the cardstock using a blue marker, and then wrapped blue yarn around the card. Then I glued the cardstock with the flowers onto a light blue cardstock.

I wanted the card to look a little rough to remind my mother of the flowers I used to pick for her. I hope she likes the card.
