Nothing says “I love you”, better than a hand-drawn mother’s day card! It’s easy to pop to a local shop, last minute and purchase a card. But to design your own mother’s day card, shows how much you care and love your mom. To help you out, I have collected my top 10 hand drawn mother’s day card ideas to inspire you this mother’s day!
1. Laura Ripamonti from Italy
You can never disappoint with a heart filled with flowers on Mother’s Day. Especially when they are hand-drawn from your very hands! See how Laura created this beauty here.
2. Jennifer Parkin from Canada
The simple beauty of a mother on a swing with her children. Jennifer’s use of canvas paper has given the whole piece an authentic feel, which I love! See more of her work here!
3. Elizabeth Bertekap from New York
These hand-drawn bunnies are the perfect mother’s day gift. After all real bunnies could be more difficult to get hold of! Did you know, Bunnies are said to be the traditional favourite animals for moms! See more of Elizabeth’s work here.
4. Raúl González from Venezuela
Raúl has drawn a portrait as a gift to his mom. He has captured her strong and beautiful nature in the curves of his pencil strokes. Plus the use of purple in his artwork shows the sophisticated and magical women his mother is! See more of his work here.
5. William Harrison from USA
Another portrait for mom! I love how the heart on the little girl’s shirt stands out to emphasise his love for his mom. The smile on the mother shows the caring and kind nature of his mom making it perfect for mother’s day! See more of William’s work here.
6. Katharina Pinter from Austria
Katharina’s drawing of her mother symbolises her mom’s calm and caring nature. The blue in her hair almost looks like a river flowing downwards or a waterfall! Flowers are used to demonstrate her mother’s beauty. You can see more of Katharina’s work here.
7. Sheila McCabe from USA
Hand drawn with coloured pencils and a pen, Shelia has created a beautiful and sophisticated mother’s day card design. I really love the delicate typography used on the words “Happy Mother’s Day”. Very fancy! See more of Shelia’s work here.
8. Shruti Thakkar from India
I really love Shruti’s series of drawings about his mom. He has really thought about his mom’s qualities, such as being sweet, caring, pretty and magical. Plus added some humour through his cute drawings and speech bubbles! You can see his full mother’s day series of drawings here.
9. Nanka Wang from Netherlands
Using coloured pencils, Nanka has created a simple, yet effective mother’s day card design. She has kept it very feminine with the use of pastel colours, hearts and flowers. I love the choice of colours used in this mother’s day card! See more of Nanka’s work here.
10. Safia Begum from United Kingdom
I was so inspired, that I created my own mother’s day card for my mom! Using some felt tip pens and a pen, I written a short poem for my mom. I also added some drawings, such as clouds and fishes in the sea to illustrate my poem. You can see more of my hand drawn work on my Instagram!
