Love You Mom {Tag} @ STAMPlorations

Hi friends! Welcome back to my blog and thank you for dropping by. Here's sharing my tag creation for MAY Tagplorations Challenge at STAMPlorations.

All About Mom is the theme and we have included an optional twist to use vellum in your creation/s. Your project can be a tag on its own or just anything but a tag must be included somewhere in your project.

This tag used Manila Tags Nesting Dies from CUTporations thin metal dies was cut with Sizzix machine. I ended tying the top with a trim from previous project.

We celebrate Mother's Day this Sunday in Malaysia. My girls often buy artificial roses at their school shop and happily bring home for me. I remember a card my eldest daughter made for me when she was about 8 years old I think. She wrote Happy Monster's Day. I can't help laughing every time I think about it {smile}.

Here are some close ups photos:

I have not used the alpha stamps for so long and decided to use them again which I bought in a wooden box at a local bookstore. It has always been my habit to stamp the sentiment I want using the alpha stamps and then cut each alpha to stick it down piece by piece. Key word is patience, lol.

I swiped heavy gesso over forest of leaves stencil to create a pattern in the background of decoupage. I form a texture on heavy card stock with layers of scrap papers and napkin for decoupage at first before stenciling took place.

I stamped a butterfly on white heavy card stock and fussy cut neatly. Then I glue down on the background and start coloring with watercolors using aqua brush.

That's it for today. Don't forget to use my coupon code STAMPGIRLASMAH for 20% discount.

Till then. See you very soon.

Hugs and smiles,
