Hello everyone,
today I have another bunch of Mother's Day cards.
Since today my delivery of the Zig Clean Color Real Brushes arrived and I had to try them out. I saw them on Youtube and was really fascinated by the gorgeous colors you get with these. But I thought for a long while that my watercolors are sufficient. In the end I gave in and just bought them. And what should I say it was definitely worth it. After doing some research, I chose the set with 48 colors because you get a real good cost-benefit ratio. And the other colors I didn't miss up to now.

My first card was the first try with these pens. I just stamped some flowers from the Altenew set "Peony Bouquet" and "Majestic Bloom" with Versamerk ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.
Afterwards I laid down my colors with the Zig Clean Color pens, where I wanted to have my shadows and spread these out with a waterbrush pen. For the background I used a piece of gray cardstock and embossed it with an embossing folder, then to finish off my card I added some sequins by Studio Katia.

This card I gave to my aunt, because I had a package lying around which I had not send to her yet and I thought it would be a nice gesture.

For the second card I wanted to do another try the Altenew "Adore You" set again but with white embossing powder. Some how I had the feeling that the contrast between the delicate flowers and the Versafine "Black Onyx Ink" might be a bit too harsh. Furthermore I wanted to play around yet a bit more with my Zig Clean Color Real Brushes. Because I had no pink cardstock, I used my Copic Markers once more to color the outer border of a piece of cardstock and glued that to my card base. The little bow is die cut from a piece of white cardstock which I colored too.
In the end I have to admit, that with the light pink and the white embossing the card is a bit too bright for my taste and I miss a bit of contrast. But my best friend liked it so much, so I gave it to him for his mother.
