This week on Magnolia Vs. Stampavie Challenge the theme is Mother's Day Cards.. I know we all love making girly cards and one to honor the Mom in our life is a perfect excuse to really foof it up with flowers and charms. Is Foof a real word?
I started by choosing one of Stampavie's Sarah Kay images, this isn't a "MOM" with a baby but she is pretending right? This is called Picnic Time I have colored her with my Copics and high lighted with white gel pen.
For the card I started with a white base, then all of the pattern papers oh my... I LOVE these! This is from K&Company's Cut n-paste collection, really fun new collection you are seeing a lot of cards from there from me aren't you? I inked the edges of all of the pieces, including a Martha Stewart Lace Doily border out of white. I sewed down everything. I wish now I had made more of the recipe from the patter paper show, but I had it all ready sewed together, so there wasn't much I could do with it. The sentiment is computer generated in pink.
For the flowers, I found some really gorgeous dark pink Prima flowers, put together with jewelry spacers and mini green brads. The leaves are Martha Stewart punches, that I inked the edges of and drew a white center on.
