Mother's Day (R79H-any saying)
- Stamp vellum piece with clear embossing ink and clear emboss
- Sponge pink and purple ink over entire piece. (Instead of "tapping" the sponge, I actually rubbed the color on as the vellum is "slippery.")

- Layer to size H cream card which has been outlined with Krylon gold marker
- Computer generate the text in purple on lilac card.
- Layer to mauve metallic piece and attach to card
- Glue small purple bow and white ribbon rose.

Based on a card by Kanako Tanaka

Mysterious Face (R81H)
- Computer generate face and Italian text and print on white card

- Place torn scrap paper over image on white card and brayer over the entire card. Remove scrap paper

Purple Rose (R83H)
- Cut three 1 1/2" x 4" pieces from vellum, tear the edges, and sponge each with a different shade of purple
- Using the same colors of ink, stamp Paris Rose on cream card
- Using the same colors again, stamp Paris Rose on translucent shrink plastic and shrink with heat gun
- Tape vellum pieces to size H cream card as shown
- Attach Paris rose with foam dots
- Glue a thin purple ribbon bow at the top (using E6000) glue, making the "tail" of one side longer than the other
- Bring the right side of the ribbon to the bottom of the card and glue the shrink plastic piece on top. (I actually cut the ribbon that went behind the plastic because it was visible behind the translucent piece.)
