Today, on a sunny but very windy and cool Sunday we made some cards for Mom since next week is Mother’s day. This year we used the shaving cream method to create a marbled heart. It’s simple: shaving cream is spread out on a tray, acrylic paint is dropped onto the surface, a small stick is used to draw a pattern, a white paper heart is placed onto the paint and pulled off again, the shaving cream is wiped away and voila! Even little kids can do it.
Around us, the garden was blooming beautifully. There are still some late tulips around and the field of irises shines blue as before. But now, there are also purple iris and some really lovely columbines.
Next week is forecast to be warmer and more seasonable for May. If this holds true and it doesn’t rain, we may repeat the card-making on Saturday just in time for Mother’s Day.
