\"Mother's
Mother’s Day Card<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Last weekend was Mother’s Day, I hope you all spoiled your mums with gifts or spent some quality time with them! Apart from a small present, I also had time to make my mum a card for the day ^_^.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My parents are taking a trip to Turkey later in the year and I wanted to do something inspired by Turkish patterns and designs. I even made a small collage\/moodboard for it for my art journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My collage\/moodboard in my journal.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I took elements from the images as well as others I found online and arranged them on tracing paper to make my own design. I’m surprised I didn’t tear it because I erased and redrew parts several times over before I was happy with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mother's
My final sketch on tracing paper.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While I tried to transfer the design directly from the tracing paper, it wasn’t working out the way I hoped. I ended up scanning and then reprinting the image before tracing it (using my makeshift lightbox<\/a>) directly onto the final card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
