Multiple art projects, over time, leave me with an overabundance of stencil-printed papers, and many of them are leftover bits and pieces.
When I sort thru the papers, they wake up my brain and ignite ideas.
I suggest you challenge yourself, right along with me, asking "What happens if I pair this with that?" Outside-the-box thinking is fun!
That in mind, I offer today more ideas for Mother's Day greeting cards. (Keep in mind you can send, or hand over, cards to your daughters, daughters-in-law and stepdaughters if you have them. Each of these cards pairs nicely with a bouquet of fresh flowers!)
Above: I used my 6" x 6" Mikki's Flowers Mask s605 with red acrylic paint over a whitewashed page from an old encyclopedia that had a floral image of its own. The foil trims here and on all cards below are from Paper Wishes. |

Above: a card cover that uses a partial print made using my 9" x 12" Garden Montage L652 as the top-layer print. The bottom layer was created with my 9" x 12" Prayer Flags L371. To my eye, doing one print over another adds pizzazz without completely removing the3 image of flowers. The butterfly was made with a hole punch.

All of the following Mother's Day card covers were developed using partial prints made with 9" x 12" Prayer Flags L371 --

Note: The insert is a photo of a painting I did years ago. (In a future post I'll show how I incorporated this piece into a larger greeting card cover.) |
