– Hello crafty friends! The special day to celebrate our mothers is here. We can celebrate them and show them love in many ways. But today, we are going to make a clean-and-simple handmade card for someone who has been a mother in our life.

Let’s get crafting!

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 15-20 Minutes

Direction:

Step 1
Cut out a piece of watercolor cardstock into 4×6 inch and put it on the stamping tool.
Stamp the mason jar bouquet image with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

Step 2
Scribble some of the Memento Marker Summer Sky on the craft mat.
Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar.
Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.

I used a waterbrush that can easily squish some water out to the brush, but you also can use any small round watercolor brush and clean water.
Always have a piece of clean paper towel nearby to dab off too much water.

Step 3
Scribble some of the Memento Marker Bamboo Leaves on the craft mat.
Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar.
Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.

Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.

Step 6
Scribble some of the Memento Marker Paris Dusk on the craft mat.
Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar.
Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.

Step 7
Scribble some of the Memento Marker Grape Jelly on the craft mat.
Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar.
Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.

Step 8
Dry the whole watercolored image well with a craft heat gun.
Fussy cut the image using the micro-tip scissors.

Step 9
Cut out a piece of white cardstock with one of the Stitched Tag dies.
Stamp the sentiment on the tag with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.
Dry the stamped sentiment with a craft heat gun.

Step 10
Add some of the VersaFine Clair Arctic ink on the front card base with finger sponge dauber.
Dry the ink with a craft heat gun.

Step 11
Put some of the Tear It! Double-sided Tape on the back of the mason jar and add it to the tag.
Tie up some of the white twine on the tag.

Step 12
Add the mason jar bouquet tag to the card with some of the On Point Glue.

Step 13
Embellish the card with some of the pearl gems.

This clean-and-simple Mother’s Day card may look simple yet it has layers but it is not bulky so it is perfect to be sent out to someone who has been a mother to you on this special time.
