Mothers Day Flowers

It's nearly time to show our Mummy's how much we love and appreciate them! Are you looking for a Mothers Day Card? Why not try this one.  You've got the card and flowers covered all in one.  This one was partly inspired by a card my Husband bought me for my Birthday - it's super simple and really fast.


The colour combination is Real Red, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, as dictated by the beautiful Fresh Prints DSP stack in the spring/summer catalogue (Catalogue Order  number 132996, £6.25 for 48 sheets) with a little bit of Bermuda Bay to make it pop.  

The card is a 5 inch square base of Crumb Cake, and a 4.5 inch square topper of Real Red.  You could make your own envelope for this one using your Envelope Punch Board or your Simply Scored Board :)


This one is pretty much about using your Scissor Snips and hand crafting most of the shapes.  I hand cut the DSP leaving a nice pinch point to pop a piece of Silver Baker's Twine around (132976, £3.25 for 22.9m), and then stuck a small strip of Coastal Cabana behind it and again used my scissor snips to create a contour.  The leaves are hand snipped Crumb Cake scraps and the flowers are cut using the Itty Bitty punches and they have some Basic Pearl Jewels on them.

I used dimensionals for the bunch of flowers and then a combination of Tombo and dimensionals for the flowers.  Unusually I also dimensionalled up the Real Red Square - it's very 3D this card! Just beware if you're going to post it - cut down on the layers that are dimensionalled up to keep the postage down


Let me know what you think!
