"Mother's Day"

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to use some colors that I do not normally use.  Sometimes I just get stuck on the same ones!

This is the card I made for my Mom, she loved it :-)  Base of the card is Barely Banana with Baroque Motifs stamped in Barely Banana.  I used Whisper White and Vellum and ran it through the Big Shot.  Did the masking technique on the flowers.  I used Basic Gray instead of Black, I did not like the harshness of the black when I tried it. 

Stamps:  Well Scripted, Greenhouse Garden, Baroque Motifs

Paper:  Whisper White, Barely Banana, Vellum

Ink:  Barely Banana, Yo Yo Yellow, Pixie Pink, Rose Red, Basic Gray

Accessories:  Silver Brads, Top Note Die, Scallop Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone is having a great weekend :-)

Mother's Day Rose

I have seen this rose all over cyberspace,

I did not come across the tutorial until after I had

already finished my rose. See "Patty's Stamping

Spot" for an awesome video tutorial.

I used shimmery white cardstock, versamark and white embossing powder. Then I mixed Pink Pirouette with Rubbing alcohol and diluted it to make a light shade of Pink. Next I mixed Barely Banana with the alcohol and did the inside of the petals. Went back over it again with the Pink Pirouette on the edges. Patty's Tutorial makes this so much easier but I thought mine turned out okay.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

"Manhattan Flower Mother's Day"

This has got to be one of the easiest cards I have ever made. The textured impressions die from Stampin' Up! "Manhattan Flower" is gorgeous! I used Pink Pirouette cardstock (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and ran it through the Bigshot and then trimmed around the flowers. Traced around parts of the flower with 2-Way Glue and then added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. This looks so much better in real life. Click on photo to make it larger and then you can see the sparkle!
