This is my sample for CC686. I am your hostess this week and I have chose melon mambo, lemon-lime twist and black for my color trio. Dessert Option this week is a Mother's Day card for all of us last minute stampers. Hand raised here-guilty (LOL)!!!
My card this week started with the Viva la Verve sketch for May. I thought it was a good one to showcase my orchid for Mom. The orchid die is part of the Mother's Day release from CottageCutz.
I am a big fan of orchids and have 3 plants. One of them is in bloom right now. To get a bit of color variation on the orchid bloom, I cut the sepal (3 leaves in background) in melon mambo and the petals and lip in white and sponged with melon mambo ink. The tiny center is called a column and that is cut in melon mambo cardstock. Love the detail on the CottageCutz dies.
The background heart paper is from BoBunny "head over Heels" collection. I like the distressed look of the paper. The black striped paper is from the Stampin'-Up "color me irresistible" collection. The flag banner I cut in melon mambo then used a heart embossing folder and sponged the hearts with white chalk ink.
I finished off my card with my sentiment and then added some lemon-lime sequins and melon mambo candy dots.
I hope you can play along with us this week. If your Mother's Day cards are finished, you can use the colors to create another type card.
