Don't you just love that little sun?  It comes from the Hello Love Hostess Stamp Set.  I just added a little smile and googlie eyes!

I layered the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle and the 1-3/4" Circle Punches under the sun.

I love the Chevron Border Punch too!  It's so much fun!

SSINKspiration: Happy Mother's Day

It's almost Mother's Day and today I have a little treat for you...a little Mother's Day Card INKspiration!  AND a Sneak Peek of a stamp set that will be in the NEW Catalog in June!!

The stamp set I used is called Work of Art and it has 3 great paintbrush/watercolor swooshes!  I stamped them using Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana and Rich Razzleberry on Watercolor Paper and then used my Auqapainter to make them look even more like I used paints and a brush!

The Happy Mother's Day sentiment came from the April 2014 My Paper Pumpkin Kit!  It's such a cute stamp!!

I hope you have enjoyed my card today!  Head on over to SSINKspiration to see some more Mother's Day Card INKspiration!  You won't want to miss it!
