Watercolor Roses: Altering Embossing

[@rhondallyons9842]

First time I have watched this one! It is stunning! What a wonderful picture you painted of your Mom! ♥️🥰 I was blessed with a wonderful Mother. She died in 2014. I would call her and tell her the special things, the sad things, and ask her advice, ask her about a recipe 😊, and cry on her shoulder. I was the one she and Daddy wanted to take care of her when she was in need of care and again when she was dying. It was hard but I'm glad that I did it. I miss her so much! She taught me my morals, how to work, cook, and sew. She taught me to love God. A side note...she drove the logging truck to the mill for my Dad.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you for sharing about your mom. I'm sorry for your loss. She sounds like an amazing woman.

[@deannarobyn]

I had that lump in my throat while listening to your story. Tear filled my eyes several times. You are very lucky to have suck a wonderful mom. Your son is very lucky as well. I don't have that type of relationship with my mom. I love her but we are not like you and your mom. My daddy is my hero. He has been gone almost 5 years. Happy Birthday to your mom!!! 🎂

[@ramonasmithson439]

Your story about your Mother was wonderful! She is lucky as you are to have a daughter that appreciates all that she does for you. And this is something she will always have. That's special! And the painting too!

[@mmmmlllljohn]

Your mom will love the card and you verbalizing how you feel about her will be priceless to her. Kudos to both of you for being such strong women!

[@tammyparkerson4097]

Beautiful card as always. I gotta tell you made me cry...tears of joy and love. Thank God for Moms. Thank you for sharing.

[@wendyodell356]

It's a beautiful card Kelly. You amaze me when you watercolor. Your Momma will love it even though she watched you create it.❤ I too, am lucky enough to call my mom my best friend. It made it so much easier growing up. I could tell her anything and we just talked it through like adults. My baby girl who is 18 is also my best friend and I am to her as well. I love how close our family is. It's very IMPORTANT to me. I've always told my kids the two most IMPORTANT things in life are family and good friends.❤ Kelly, you're like family I got to hand pick. Love you❤

[@dianehunter3034]

Such a beautiful card and a beautiful story of your Mom. I bet she cries buckets when she listens to how much you love and respect her.

[@annierodenberg2327]

Oops! Kelly, such a beautiful birthday card for your Mother. Your story of your Mother was very emotional for me to hear, and in your voice, the Love you have for her. Remember, what goes around, comes around. Such a beautiful blessing you shared.

[@ashleycarlson7197]

Such a beautiful tribute to your momma! She has to be just as proud of you, as you are of her! Makes me tear up! Moms truly are the best! I hope she had a wonderful day! Your card is breath taking!

[@erins.5420]

This was an incredible story about your mom. And except for me I’ve never heard anyone else say “hate” is a strong word and you don’t say it. Your mom is rad and I’m so glad you shared these stories about her. Edit: dementia is hard on families, one great grandparent, 2 grandparents and now my dad. There are more bad days than good. Bless her heart!

[@FreidaKirkland]

How absolutely lovely Kelly! 💕 I loved how you spoke of your mom, I wished I'd had such a relationship, so yeah, you're a lucky lady for sure in that regard! 🤗😍 Happy Birthday to your mom! 🎂 🍭🎉🧁🥳🎈I pray you both have LOTS and LOTS of these times together ❤️ I couldn't help, maybe it's the mom in me, thinking as you told the beautiful story of your mom(tears, oh yeah), how wonderful YOU are as well! I may not 'know' you, but I see who you are thru everything you do. A fantastic mom and friend and wife, those around you are very lucky to be in YOUR space 😊 And, I think at 60(soon) that I'm a pretty good judge of character? Lol I hope one day your children do something like this video for YOU, I'm sure your mother could barely make it thru it, so touching! 💕❤️ Thank you for sharing...

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you! I definitely won the lottery in the mom department ❤️

[@donnaklippert7270]

What a wonderful tribute to a beautiful roll model! I wasn't lucky enough to have that relationship with my Mom, but after she passed my Father was everything! Thank you for sharing...God Bless you and those you love.

[@teresaselby3536]

You are so lucky that your Mom is still alive when you had your son. My kids never had any time with my folks when they were younger. Cause my folks passed on 25-26 years ago. So I am so glad you can talk with her anytime you want. I love the card you made your Mom. Beautiful colors and she will like the leaves. She knows flowers has green leaves. Thanks for sharing your younger years with your Mom. You might want to get a recorder so you can record your Mom's voice for you and your son. It helps as they grow older. Thanks for sharing and a great week.

[@janeralph9853]

Thank you for sharing your Mom story. I lost my mom a bit over three years ago and miss her like crazy. She was a good momma and a fantastic grandmother- we lived next door for several years and my kids loved their time with grandma and pap! Too many people take their parents for granted and don’t realize the treasures they are until it is too late. I am glad you are like me and are among the lucky ones. XO

[@kimjriley5463]

Beautiful card and story about your Mom. Lost mine when I was 15. I miss her every day! Cherish every moment!

[@KenoBabe777]

Beautiful Card and Beautiful Story!! Sounds like your Mom ROCKS! You are BLESSED!

[@UR22NOZ]

Thank YOU for the emotional journey, Kelly! I cried like a baby through your e entire video. I grew up so envious of the ‘Mother/Daughter’ relationships of my friends, that sadly I missed out on. BUT luckily for me I had THE most wonderful Father/Daughter relationship anyone could ever dream of, so I too was very blessed. Thanks for your journey and stories....they are so precious and I personally love each and every one of them. Hugs

[@SapphyreDrgn]

I have to admit I teared up...I hope your mom has an amazing birthday! Thank you for sharing her with us.

[@hemjoo]

Thanks for honoring your mother this way. She sounds truly amazing! You’re v blessed.😊

[@anjacurvers1135]

Kelly I loved the story about your mom, you are very blessed so cherish her. Your card is breathtaking as always I really enjoyed watching it come to life. Thank you for your neverending inspiration.

[@JayDub_143]

Wow! I was in tears listening to you describe your mom! Just so beautiful and loving! You are very blessed! I didn't have my mom growing up but I had my grandma and she was my rock. I have tried and tried to build a relationship with my "mom" but unfortunately I have finally just come to accept that it will never happen. But I will always know I was so blessed to have my Grammy! Beautiful card I know shes gonna love it! Happy birthday to your beautiful mom! Hugs

[@karenbliss5075]

Kelly, You are truly blessed to have such beautiful mother - and what mother would not lover your card - as it is made from the heart!

[@vanessamellor4754]

Your Mum sounds perfect. and I love your story's every time. Now this card is beautiful and im sure she loved it, but i bet she had a little happy cry listening to you talk about her because your emotion was real and that's what we all want to hear from our children xx your my inspiration

[@pats4779]

Beautiful card, and I know your Mom was moved beyond words if she watched this, and heard the beautiful respectful things you said about her.

[@rhondajohnson2007]

Thank you, it was so touching hearing you talk about your mum, i lost my mum in July of 2016 and it still seems like yesterday. Continue to treasure every moment with her, even when your rushed for time, stop and give her your full attention and love. Many happy returns to your mum, may she have many, many years of joy and happiness

[@sherrystanley6426]

Kelly, I love the card so much and all the love your poured into it - your momma is going to LOVE it. BUT she is going to love your praise for things that she does not even see herself doing the most. Some people just do things because that is who they are and never even see the sacrifice they are making for another person. They do the things out of love not obligations and they are from the heart. Your momma sounds like an amazing woman!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

OH MAN, KELLY!!! All I can say is DITTO with your story of a caring, loving momma (crying like a baby)! She’s going to adore this GORGEOUS card & the tribute you made to her during this video!!! I miss my momma everyday, especially since my birthday is the same as hers & her funeral was on my 1st. Wedding anniversary. Memories of her are amazing and fill my heart with JOY! Thanks & HUGS GIRL!!!

[@mzp6620]

What a beautiful tribute to your mom. I was fortunate to have such a mother as well. She just passed 2 months ago and I miss her so much. Keep loving on that momma :)

[@elizabetheddy1073]

Kelly, again I love all the beautiful work u do and share with all of us, but to share such a beautiful story about ur mom was xtra special! I almost sent this video to my sons! One of them would get this, the other isn’t there yet?! ( more growing up to do! Lol ) I also got tears eyed thinking of my mom! Thank u again, and I hope u have a wonderful Mother’s Day!😊💗💐

[@9critterchris877]

Stunning. You're so blessed to have your mom and to be so skilled at water coloring. Thank you & God bless.

[@bevp7838]

Beautiful card and beautiful story. You are indeed one of the lucky ones. My mom was also the glue when we were growing up. She sounds completely wonderful. And none of us knew how lucky we were until we were grown and had kids of our own--don't beat yourself up about that--it's just the way of things. And now....my son appreciates me!

[@ConnieInman1954]

Kelly this card is absolutely gorgeous. I love your story about your mom and you almost got me emotional. Your watercoloring is as good as your copic coloring. You have gotten so good and I love watching your videos. I am sure Mom is going to love your card. Connie

[@annettefertitta6868]

Our older two have really come to appreciate what I did to support them behind the scenes… I worked outside of the home as a speech pathologist “as well as at home” the youngest is still a work in progress… all these years when I thought they weren’t paying attention- they really were. For many years, I burned the candle at both ends for a long time - Wish I still could but your mom has a pretty great kid too!

[@MissingSofeeAnna]

I cannot tell you how much I love your stories. Your mother is most definitely making God Happy for all her wonderful things she does for other. I too had a wonderful mother, but she would have been too timid to do the things your mom did. As too making your watercolor nice and even again run it thru your Mink at 5 works like a dream. How is the little one? would love to see a picture. I just became a great grandmother (#6) on December 5. Having grandchildren is just the best I guess that why they are called "Grand"children. Hope you have a very special Christmas.

[@trinityknieriem8263]

Kelly....It was so lovely to hear about your mom....You're a very lucky girl. Beautiful card!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@stylesformiles79]

I love your watercoloring! What a beautiful card. You're a lucky woman you are to have such a great relationship with your mom! It's such a great gift. So happy for you.

[@kimh.5272]

Aww, tears. What a wonderful story. Happy Birthday to your momma. Your both very lucky to have such a great relationship. Beautiful card as always. Thanks for sharing your stories and talent.

[@jragnes]

What a beautiful tribute to your mom! I'm a nana too! Forget you crying on KZbin...I was crying! My mom has been gone for almost 8 years now. Thankfully I have been blessed with a wonderful, beautiful stepmom now but I never stop missing my mom.

[@cardsbyshannonlee]

your story brought tears to my eyes... and I'm not a crier... I wish my mother was motherly like your mom... you are truly blessed... so glad to hear that you appreciate her so much... oh yeah, the card is great too!!!

[@bluerosecub]

Great card Kelly. Loved your story too. My mum is no longer with us so a tear was shed listening to your story about you momma. I hope she has a great birthday.

[@SnigDig]

I like the closer up view of you creating. I don't have a need to see more of your palette. You are a loving daughter, and I’m certain your mother will love this card 💕

[@sabelljones]

Brilliant save! Love your momma story. I'm glad you appreciate how lucky you are. I knew you had to be a nice person and this story proves it!

[@konxiouscreations387]

I love listening to your stories while watching you color. Happy Birthday to your mother. After watching this video I'm going to go visit my mom straight from work. Thank you for sharing.

[@whimsicalexpressions]

I have no idea how you could tell these stories without sobbing; I don't know YOU or YOUR MOTHER and I am crying!!! Not kidding! My mom is my best friend too; I'm identical to you - she's the first one I call; she's the one I want to share everything with. I have said for AGES; when my mom passes, just open the door to the funny farm and send me in!!! I will be a mess forever! Your card is GORGEOUS and your mom is definitely blessed to have you as her daughter! Love the video; appreciate the closer up view of your painting!

[@sherrywoods4630]

What a lovely gift to your Momma. The card is beautiful, too.

[@annettefertitta6868]

It tugged at my heart that you so painstakingly corrected the saying until it was just right for Momma! ❤️

[@lorinommensen816]

I love this card, and I always enjoy your stories. This one, however, really touched my heart. I, too, was blessed with a wonderful mother, and your mom sounds like the same type of person. I also have two sisters, but I'm in the middle. Sadly, I lost my mom when I was 41 (many years ago), but I am grateful for the years I, and my children, spent with her. We lived 2 miles from my parents, so my kids would often go to my parent's house "for a while'"when my parents stopped over. Usually within an hour, my kids would call and say they were spending the night. My kids are now adults, and they have many happy memories of hanging out with grandma, especially of her cooking their favorite foods. They remember short car trips with my dad, as he was a great one for just going for a ride. Until I was in high school, I truly thought everyone had the same kind of wonderful parents. I now have grandchildren of my own, and I'm doing my best to make the same wonderful memories my children had.

[@christinejaedicke3053]

Beautiful family, Beautiful card, Lucky you! Happy birthday Kelly's Momma!

[@lindagorun4161]

Thanks for sharing such a sweet and private moment about your momma! My mother’s been gone about thirty years now. We were never close, so I truly envy you your relationship. What can I say about your card other than I see you put in all the love you feel for your momma, and it shows beautifully. I know she’ll adore it and your story.

[@angelascott2475]

WOW!! Your card turned out beautiful. The colouring is lovely and soft, very feminine. I’m sure your mum will love it xx

[@ellenna4426]

I understand your sentiments about your Mom! I feel the same way about my Mom. Ladies like us are so incredibly lucky!! God bless her and happy, healthy birthday wishes to your mom!!

[@sallyhill6565]

You are so lucky to have your mom! Mine has been gone for awhile now and I miss being able to talk to her and ask those everyday questions too. The card is lovely and I'm sure she will love it! 💓

[@lindaball403]

This card is gorgeous! Your Momma will love it!

[@leeannleonard3037]

STUNNING card and what a beautiful tribute to your Momma!

[@heatherharrison4855]

Such a beautiful card Kelly. You are so blessed to have a wonderful relationship with your Mum . I'm sorry I don't with mine but she is still my mother and I will do whatever I can for her , long story..., but as I listen to you its lovely to hear the caring has passed on to you. I chose to be different and I have the most wonderful relationship with my children and grandchildren. God bless and hope your Mum had a lovely birthday.x💕

[@tattoolane1]

How lovely to hear how warmly you talk about your mum. I am lucky enough to have a wonderfully close relationship with my daughter, but me and my mum clash a bit. I just loved your story as much as I loved your painting. Many thanks for sharing both. Xxxxxxxx

[@sheilaironside8099]

Beautiful card Kelly! Your Momma sounds like a wonderful lady! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@wendy8184]

Beautiful colouring! Well done on getting the sentiment correct, i did giggle cos we've all been there before! Happy birthday to your mom, she sounds an amazing woman. I was taken aback Kelly when you said you work 3 jobs...no wonder you get tired ....thank you for your time and stories

[@rebekahweckerly6317]

Your card is beautiful and I am sure you mom will love it. But I am sure she will love your voice over even more. You are so lucky to have a mom like her....and you son a grandma like her! I have not been as fortunate but loved your stories none the less.

[@janetisbrandt5735]

WOW your mom is going to love this card!!!! Let her know in the card that she is your best friend. Just beautiful the card and the `story time`. Hope your mom has a wonderful birthday! Thank you for sharing.

[@MMGARC]

Such a sweet card for your Mother. Lovely, Kelly!

[@christyscherbarth1428]

Beautiful. You are blessed to have your mom. Mine died when my children were little. Yet, they have their dad's parents close by still and there is such a great connection between them.

[@MaryNewnham]

Wow! Gorgeous card and a beautiful tribute to your mom. PS. Your videos get me through so many cardio sessions 💕😆. Thank you 🙏

[@debbiebarba9067]

So beautiful Kelly! I love the colors you used for your tulips! I truly enjoyed your heartfelt stories and your beautiful tribute to your mother in this video! I know she will LOVE it too!

Wonderful tribute to your mum, Kelly! Listening to you talking about your mum made me emotional :) Gorgeous card as always. Gayatri xx

[@danaparker3628]

Loved your talk about your mother. Your card for her is beautiful! I wish I had experienced your mother/daughter relationship with my Mother. I am sure she will cherish the card. Thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful story about your mom! Your card is beautiful, she will love it! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely brilliant to make the momma out of those two stamps and love the vellum over the black so much! Genius!

[@siobhanwhaley7813]

Made me tear up! I lost my mom 20 years ago and she was outstanding too! Loved your card and watching how you fix things! So clever! Thank you

[@TheSunshineCrafterKellyFusco]

Whew....your words about ur mom brought tears to my eyes n im not a crier. I cry n think "whats this salty discharge?" Lol. Seriously...your mom is hpung to LOVE this video and your beautiful card! I have that close bond with my daughter. My mom n I are semi close but that respect factor and admiration you have is one i sadly dont share with my mom. I love her tons tho. Anyway...ur words were well said, beautifully matched with ur card. Happy Birthday Kelly's momma! 😉 You also have a great daughter! Very talented too!

[@athenaboulanitou9549]

Wonderful card for your wonderful mom! Happy birthday to her!

I always love your videos and your stories. You are so talented and you keep it real. I do hope your mom watched this video 😊 Thank you for sharing!

[@maplestoryftw12]

That was beautiful! Happy Birthday to your wonderful Mom!!! ...Marianne

[@teresadoyle1396]

Awwwwwwwwwwwww Kelly, now I love your Momma!!!! She sounds like an amazing Momma! (I am the 7th of 8 children, the youngest of 5 girls) and I still call my mother Mommy sometimes, and she'll be 90 next month! My Mom worked very hard too both inside the home and outside of it and so I understand what you are saying! By the time we all moved out, most of us would not ask Mom to babysit as the poor woman needed a BREAK! However, we live 40 minutes away from our daughter and when she wants or needs a break, we are ON IT as I realize the need for help as a young, working mother needs. Our 2 young grandsons mean the world to us so if I am not at my Mom's house helping her with her day to day needs, I am at our daughters getting our 'baby fix'. LOL So I totally understand where your Mom's heart is....Happy Birthday 'Momma', you are truly loved! HUGS!

[@jeama123]

love the card! Your story got me all choked up. I, too, had an awesome mom and miss her every day!

[@blondecardsncrafts]

Love the chats/video and that your comfortable sharing like this. Your so very blessed to have an awesome mom. My moms great too, we have our moments of "Arraghhhh" but we get over them. I live in the same Cul-de-Sac as my parents and pop across the road every day to see if they need anything. I generally bring bakes to them too as I love baking and make them a frothy coffee mid afternoon and catch up on all the gossip. 😍😀😁 LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL CARD. I bet your mom did too. Tfs 💖

[@lindadotson2936]

Thank you for your emotional journey. Always hold your Mom dear and near. And be there for her went she is having a bad day from taking care of your Grandmother. It is hard to care for someone with Alzheimer's. I faced that with my Mom. She passed away almost nine years ago and before she passed most of the time she didn't know my sister or me even though we cared for her every day. It really hurts when your Mom, your dearest best friend, doesn't know who you are. So if your Mom has a day like that just give her an extra hug. I love your videos. I learn so much from them. I'll keep your Mom in my thoughts and prayers.

[@swiftcreations7688]

You brought tears to my eyes listening to your story. My mom will always be my hero and my bff. Cherish it forever. Absolutely beautiful card for an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing.

[@janeagleson7822]

Lovely card! I am sure that you mom knows how much you love her! !

[@norinemueller4588]

Beautiful card as always and a beautiful tribute to your mom

[@cathieh.7225]

I miss my Mum so much. The day she passed away my whole world fell silent and I lost my guiding light. She was my best friend and my greatest ally. Great card BTW, you've just made us all think and reminisce about our Mums, a very emotional subject. Although my dad was a wonderful man, my artistic bent I got from him he was a good artist, I now use his watercolors and brushes.

[@charylhodges470]

It was nice to hear about your relationship with your mother. Your blessed to have a mother like that. I didn't have a good relationship with my mother or father especially.

[@stylesformiles79]

Love that you love your mom like I love mine. Your mom sounds great! Never thought of under painting! New one for me. Tfs

[@TheFerralHousewife]

What a beautiful story of your family!!!! I adore your videos, I wish you lived near by because I'd love to me you in person your so genuine. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and please know that you have inspired me on so many occasions to just try to do things, cause " come on folks, it's just paper"!!

[@crmuirhead]

Sounds like you had the second greatest mom on earth with mine coming in for the top spot! I ended up caring for her when dementia stole her from me and she finally got her eternal rest at age 87 18 months ago. Bless mothers everywhere! BTW, I like it when you zoom the camera in and let us see the details of your work in progress. I personally don't need to see your color palette because, as you said, you don't know the names of the colors anyway LOL! Beautiful card, thanks for the tip on altering word while embossing.

[@rigmorolsson4765]

Very beautiful! :) Both the card and the story about your relationship with your mom! I was very close to my grandmother, she was like a second mom for me. Hugs!

[@CarolHeld]

I ordered the entire sets after viewing this tutorial....plus more of course...teehee. I am in the process of doing the edit/voiceover for my Monday tutorial, and had to watch this again. LOL I used the Peony Stamp. I can't get enough of your inspirational instruction Kelly. I thought you were talking about me and my sweet mom.. I am the oldest of 4 sisters. smile TFS My Mom is waiting for me in Heaven. She was my dearest friend. This was a reminder of how much she means to me.

[@aliceadler4569]

such a beautiful card, but an even more beautiful tribute to your Mom. You never stop loving your mom even after they are no longer here on this earth, they are always with you. (missing mine so much after listening to you).

[@debiv7834]

First, beautiful card. I too had the best parents & childhood. My Momma was my best friend who taught me to be a good person, wife, mother, friend and nurse. She got dementia and left me 7/16/2001. The hole in my heart, that empty pain, still there. I cried with you tonight listening to you honor your Momma. We are blessed, not everyone wins the "Momma" lottery!! 💔❤️💔❤️
