It's almost Mothers Day here in the UK and what better to go on a card than a big, bold beautiful flower.
For this weeks inspiration for Visible Image I have chosen to combine the fabulously grungy Flower Ink stencil and Mother Definition stamp on a pretty one layer card.
Here's how I achieved it...
I adhered the stencil to some super smooth card and blended a base layer of yellow Distress Oxide ink, deepening until I was happy with the shade.
I then blended brown ink into the centre section.
I then added some shading by working out from the centre in orange and red tones.
Using a small stencil brush and a white pigment ink i then swept the ink out from the centre. This really helped to soften the colours.
I then took the insert to the stencil and coloured around the outer edge of it repeatedly to add more dimension and interest.
Using a stamp platform, I added my sentiment directly on to to the card and added highlights with a white gel pen to make it pop.
Before mat and layering to finish, I added more detail to the middle of the flower, carefully drawing lines with a white paint pen all around the middle before adding in some shading with pencils to create dimension.

I wish all the mums out there a lovely relaxing Mothers Day and for those folk that find the day difficult I send love and hope that you can find something to make you smile a little on the 10th March.
