Hello again friends, I hope you had a great weekend and the weather is still lovely where you are. We were forecast thunderstorms today but luckily they haven't appeared (yet anyway lol!). I'm back to share the second Mother's Day card I made, this time for my MIL. I made a 5" x 7" card as I usually do for my family cards. I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the flowers:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began stamping the images onto alcohol marker friendly card using black ink. I coloured them with Promarkers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I cut my background panel to 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" and used an embossing folder for some extra interest; I matted this onto a black layer with double sided tape. This was then adhered to my card base with double sided tape. I stamped 4 small panels using the gauze background stamp from the same set as the flowers using a kraft colour ink. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut each panel and matted them onto an orange layer using double sided tape. I adhered the panels onto the embossed panel using foam squares. The images were also added with foam squares. For the bottom left panel I stamped and die cut my sentiment and again adhered it with foam squares. As I had a slightly larger gap in the centre of the panel I die cut a decorative frilly die and cut a thin strip of the orange card and threaded it through the holes to resemble ribbon (as I didn't have any ribbon in the right colour). I added this to the panel with liquid glue. For a finishing touch I added some black pearls between the 'ribbon' border and also around my sentiment. For the inside of my card I cut a white panel 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" and partially embossed the lower third. I then matted the panel onto a black card layer with double sided tape. To cover the join between the embossing and plain portion of the panel I added another decorative 'ribbon' border die cut, again threaded with orange card and decorated with black pearls. I stamped my sentiments with black ink in the centre and then the panel was added to my card base with double sided tape. I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
