Mother's Day Card {05.29.2017}

A little late to post, but this is the card I made for my mother-in-law, for Mother's Day. She loves flowers, and this card really seemed just right for her. I really like it. Let's check out what I made for her.

I used Lawn Fawn's Happy Happy Happy sentiment and coordinating die cuts. I also die cut part of the sentiment with a Spellbinders die (but can't remember the name. Oops.) I blended some blue ink onto the edge of the sentiment label to give it some depth and match it to the entire card a little bit. To create the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment in black ink, then sprinkled on Sparkle N Sprinkle's Clear Detail embossing powder and heat set it. I did this before I die cut it.

My mother-in-law really likes flowers, so I whipped out some flowers from my stash and layered them around the patterned paper and cardstock layers I die cut (again, with that magical, unknown Spellbinders die!). I adhered the flowers with my hot glue gun, and burnt my fingers only once!

And, to finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment, from Taylored Expressions' My Favorite Mom stamp set, in Versamark Ink, sprinkled on Sparkle N Sprinkle's White Detail embossing powder, and heat set it.

This card packs a punch, is pretty, has lots of layers and dimension, and still came together pretty quickly. I hope my mother-in-law liked it!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!
