Watercolor Mother’s Day Card Tutorial
Watercolor Mother’s Day Card Tutorial Today, I’ll share a watercolor Mother’s Day card tutorial with you. With Mother’s Day, memories of the sweet influence of so many wonderful women crowd my mind. Some are mothers. Some are not. Some are here and some have passed on. For those who are here, a card seems appropriate to remind them of my care. For those who have passed on, I’ll take some quiet moments to remember the joy they brought to my life. Among the millions of store bought cards, I rarely find one that I want.

They wake up with marker mustaches, swapped clothing drawers, and switched out cereal boxes. And that’s just the beginning. I don’t care for the mean jokes. They take the fun right out of it for me.
