Hello Blogging Friends,

The theme for this challenge is:  She is the Queen!! ~ Mothers!!

Here is the Inspiration Photo for the Joy Clair May Challenge:

Here is the card I created for the Joy Clair May Challenge:

Ingredients:

Joy Clair Spring Time Flowers stamp set

Joy Clair Hello Sentiments stamp set

Versamark

White embossing powder

Bundle Sage distress ink

Antique Linen distress ink

Mustard Seed distress ink

Gathered Twigs distress ink

Tea Dye distress ink

Black embossing powder

Green marker

White card stock

Watercolor paper

For this A2 card I started by making a card with a piece of White card stock.  I took a piece of Watercolor paper and a Creative Memories cloud stencil and rubbed on distress ink with a blending tool, I used the Bundle Sage, Antique Linen, Mustard Seed, Gathered Twigs, and Tea Dye distress inks.  I then spritzed the paper with water and let it dry.  Once it was dry I inked up the dandelion stems from the Joy Clair Spring Time Flowers stamp set with Versamark and stamped them onto the inked paper.  I heat embossed it with White embossing powder and then I took a green marker to draw in the grass and stems.  I took the sentiments from the Joy Clair Hello Sentiments stamp set and inked them up with Versamark and then stamped them onto the paper and heat embossed it with Black embossing powder.  I added the stamped and inked paper to the card and then I inked the edges with Bundle Sage distress ink.
