Sadly, my sweet mother passed away in September of 2017. I miss her every day and Mother’s Day is when I miss her the most. I miss making cards for her.
This year we were going to my son’s house for Mother’s Day and I decided to make a card for his wife who gave birth to our two wonderful grandchildren residing in Washington state.
I Stamped the flowers and leaves from Altenew’s Wallpaper Art with a light ink and colored them with Copic Markers, After the coloring was complete I stamped the flowers again with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed them gold.
I die cut a rectangle with a scalloped die to add some pretty visual interest behind the flower and leaves. Whenever I am using white on white for a card I like us an embossing folder to add detail to the background. This time I sued the Darice Basketweave Embossing Folder.
I arranged the leaves and flowers on this scalloped rectangle, adhering the yellow flower and leaves directly to the panel with liquid glue and adding foam tape behind the top orange flower.
For the sentiment I pulled out Honey Bee Stamp’s Best Parents and die cut the word “mother’s” from gold mirror cardstock. The shadow was cut from black and the two were adhered with liquid glue. The secondary sentiment were stamped onto thin strips of black cardstock and adhered to the top and bottom of the larger sentiment.
I think this card turned out pretty. I love the flowers in this Altenew stamp set.
