Mother's Day Flowers

This is the card I created for my Create-A-Bunch Club to make for Mother's Day. My sample also used the Rock 'N Roll technique, but because we were running short on time, they didn't bother re-inking the edges with darker colors. My inspiration for this card came from a t-shirt I saw at Kohl's.



All stamped supplies on this card are made with products from The Angel Company and all ink is Versa Magic. The lightest layer of the card background is the Damask Backgrounder stamp using Wheat ink with Sage as the edging; the second background layer uses Script Background inked with Perfect Plumeria ink; the greenery below the flowers is from the Be of Good retired hostess set, stamped in Hint of Pesto and the flowers are from the retired Fanciful Flowers set inked with Maulted Mauve with the edges rolled in Perfect Plumeria. The Happy Mother's Day sentiment is from the Trendy Greetings stamp set and is inked in Hint of Pesto.

I think this card has the most stamping layers of any card I've ever done, and is the closest I'll get to collage, since I usually don't pull collage off very well.

Mother's Day a little late

I did see my Mom and make her a card on Mother's Day, but I didn't download my picutre to post until now.

While cleaning up some of my paper, I found this sheet of K & Co. yellow collage paper that my Mom would love. From it, I made this butterfly card - she seems partial to my butterfly cards. We met my Mom, Gradma, Sister, Nice, Dad and Brother-in-law for lunch followed by several rounds of dominoes, which my sister and I tied for winning. Grandpa always taught Mom to play to win, and she's passed that mentality down to us. And now you know why I don't use my dominoes for crafting (I might use the one I need to win!)

Mother's Day Card

Today was my Create a Bunch at Lunch group. For this meeting, we made the card I posted a few weeks ago with the girl and the umbrella and we also made this Mother's Day card.



The patterned paper is Brooke Paisley from Making Memories' Simply Fabulous collection with Coordinations' White Washed Green. I used my Labels One Nestabilities for the sentiment panel and the Flower Creations die and some punches to make the flower.

The sentiment is from The Angel Company's Trendy Greetings stamp set, and the swirl is from Fancy Curls. The stamped swirl and the flower are both accented with a Stardust Clear Gelly Pen, which is one of the groups favorite things to use.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Here is the card I made for my mother using K & Company paper, decorative scissors, a scallped punch and a circle cutter. The sentiment is from The Angel Company's Trendy Greetings stamp set.
