Inspirational Mother’s Day

Well this is my third post for today.  I hope you are as impressed as I am.  This card is for the Inspiration in Action Weekend Sketch Challenge on Gretchen Barron’s blog.  The colours are a little bright so you might need your sunnies.

The base card is Lovely Lilac and I have layered it with a piece of Pink Passion card which I stamped using the small 3 flower stamp from the Cottage Garden set using Versamark ink.   I then added a piece of Lovely Lilac, punched along one side with the Eyelet Edge punch (are you sick of this punch yet?).  I wrapped this piece with Tempting Turquoise ribbon and added a bow with a Clear Rhinestone centre using a mini glue dot.   I ran a piece of Whisper White through my Big Shot using my favourite Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder and layered it onto more Lovely Lilac.  I stamped “Happy Mother’s Day” from the  Occasional Greetings Set using Pink Passion Ink onto Whisper White card.  This was layered onto Pink Passion card.  I stamped the two-step single flower from the Cottage Garden set 3 times, using Pink Passion ink, Tempting Turquoise ink and Lovely Lilac ink.  I used a third generation impression for the “solid” flower and a first generation impression for the “outline” flower.  I cut these flowers out, added a small Clear Rhinestone brad to the centre and attached them to the card using dimensionals.    I love how “happy” this card turned out.

Bye for now, Kris.
