Chose from 4 different watercolor printables to create a beautiful handmade gift for Mother's Day. Below is the step-by-step tutorial.
Hi, this is Molly from Just a Little Creativity, and I'm so happy to be a part of The Crafty Blog Stalker's Contributor Team this year!
Although hand painting is my passion, I've recently started learning the art of creating digital watercolor images from my own photos. This set of floral watercolor prints is created from photos I took of flowers around my house.
Mother's Day is quickly approaching and I've created this set of four printables to make gift giving or card creating just a little easier for you this year.
They are set to print on a full page, and ready to frame into an 11x14.

How to Create a Mother's Day Card:
You can also use these designs to create a card for mom!
When you visit the link, grab the image instead of printing it.
Then, in whichever word or page program you use (I use Pages for Mac), create a new document in landscape mode, and insert the image.
Size the image to about 5 inches wide, and place it on the far RIGHT side of your page, because you'll be folding it in half, and want the image on the correct side.
Here's what my print preview looks like so you can see how the image is on the right side.
I recommend printing on card stock for durability.
Then, simply fold, and trim the card to size.
Easy peasy, right?
