| | I made this card for today's Inspiration Challenge. Angie is our hostess and she has chosen a fantastic site called Lia Griffith for our inspiration. I got lost out here for quite awhile, but when I saw this card, I knew it was "the one": https://liagriffith.com/pretty-flora...ers-day-cards/. I love the colors and how the flowers surround the sentiment.
Because this sentiment I intended to use is so large, I decided to just stamp in opposite corners instead of around the entire card. Each flower is 3 layers of stamping and the leaves are 2 layers of stamping so it does take some time to do all the stamping. I had the word Beautiful that I knew I was going to use, but I wanted more than that so I had to search awhile before finding the words, "you are" in an Altenew stamp set- yay! Now, I was set to go with my heat embossing. Well, the heat embossing left a trail of dots off the letter T that I could not scratch off nor rub off; hence, the little flower and leaf spring I used to cover up the embossing debacle.
This card is for all of you amazing mothers out there who do it all for your family and friends. You really are beautiful!!! Happy Mother's Day! ~Karen. |
