Mothers Day......Sweet Stampin' Challenge

we want you to make a card or project with the theme


"Mothers Day" 
 
Why don't you pop by Sweet Stampin's Blog. We've got plenty of inspiration from the Design Team's Sweet Ladies and we hope you will join us in the fun.
 
The only thing you have to remember is that your card MUST have stamping on it.

 
This card I made using the stamp technique called "generation stamping". Basically, it means that I stamp 1. generation, 2nd generation, 3rd generation etc. In other words, I do not re-ink my stamp but continue to stamp with it. This way the colour fades stamp by stamp. Some inks are better at it than others and for my card I have used Hero Arts Shadow Inks. I only stamped 4 times, but I believe I could have gone for a 5th generation stamping.

 
By first glanze it looks like I have used 4 different ink colours to get this effect. But no! I have only used one!
 
The rest of the card is kept simple - as I always prefer it :o)
Just added the cute little bow from My Favorite Things and the sentiment from Clearly Besotted Stamps.

  8. Oh Pia, I love this card! I'm gonna have to try this again, I've only ever gone down to 2nd or 3rd generation - never thought I'd be able to push it that far ... looks gorgeous! Have a wonderful week!
