Mother's Day Card

Hero Arts is celebrating their 45 years journey in stamping industry. Here is their Show & Tell Photo Sharing Celebration:

I am a loyal customer of Hero Arts over 15 years and have many Hero Arts stamps. I cannot remember which one is my first Hero Arts stamp but their shadow flower stamps are my all time favorites. Below is the photo of my collections:

These shadow flower stamps are so classic and unique among all of the Hero Arts stamps. They can do beautiful watercolor flowers on a card. Here I used these shadow flower stamps, new Ranger alcohol ink pearls and alcohol lift-ink pad to make the below Mother's Day card.

With these new inks, the shadow flower stamps have a new look and new life. I am so happy to make this pretty Mother's Day card. Below is another look of the card:
