Jasmine Burgess's video: Mother s Day Watercolor Colab with Maaike

Hello and Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's out there! Moms are superheros in my book. They don't get a day off, work tirelessly, love compassionately, and always have to be prepared for battle. Thinking of my own Mom and how she managed to raise 4 kids mostly by herself as my Dad was in the Navy and away on deployment most of the time, it's astounding how she didn't implode. I totally own up to the fact that I wasn't easy to raise. I didn't get into real trouble much, but I pushed her patience as far as I could far too often. With this card, I wanted to do something she would love. My Mom loves everything I make, and always has, but as we get older and each year passes, I become more aware of the fragility of life and how I wont have her forever. Things are an inadequate way to express how much someone means to you, but sometimes it's the best/ only way you have. Handmade items are special because you take the time to create it, usually with someone specific in mind. So I went back to my roots with this card. My mom indulged my creative interests from a young age, taught me about Jesus, how to cook, bake, paint, draw, sew, garden and otherwise be courageous and unafraid to try new things. She is and always will be my hero. I love you, Mom. Maaike and I teamed up for a Mothers Day collaboration and you can find her video here: https://youtu.be/rJioywskcJg Supplies: Archival Tuxedo Black ink: https://www.ellenhutson.com/archival-ink-pad-jet-black/ #_a_186 Memento Gray Flannel ink: https://www.ellenhutson.com/memento-ink-pad-gray-flannel/ #_a_186 Versamark ink: https://www.ellenhutson.com/versamark-ink-pad/ #_a_186 Brutus Monroe Icicle embossing powder: https://www.ellenhutson.com/brutus-monroe-ultra-fine-embossing-powder-icicle/ #_a_186 MISTI: https://www.ellenhutson.com/msp-misti-stamping-tool/ #_a_186 Arches Satine Watercolor paper: https://www.ellenhutson.com/canson-arches-french-bound-hot-press-watercolor-paper-pad-9x12/ #_a_186 Unity Stamp Co “Beautiful is Never Perfect” : https://www.unitystampco.com/beautiful-is-never-perfect/ Unity Stamp Co: ”Feather Soft Love” https://www.unitystampco.com/feather-soft-love/ Daniel Smith Watercolors: https://www.ellenhutson.com/Search.html #/Search.html?search=daniel+smith+watercolor&category=F2503 #_a_186 Silver Black Velvet brushes: https://www.ellenhutson.com/black-velvet-watercolor-brushes-short-round-8/ #_a_186 Avery Elle Wonky Stitches die: https://www.ellenhutson.com/avery-elle-ments-dies-wonky-stitches/ #_a_186 Be Creative tape: https://www.ellenhutson.com/Search.html #/Search.html?search=be+creative+tape #_a_186 Neenah Cream cardstock: https://www.ellenhutson.com/a-cardstock-neenah-classic-crest-solar-white-250-sheet-ream/ #_a_186 Blog: https://journeywithjasmine.blogspot.com/2018/04/mothers-day-watercolor-colab-with-maaike.html
