Bloggers Challenge - Happy Mother's Day!


This week's challenge is Mother's Day theme, and last week's was embossing (which I missed).  I combined the two into this card for my brother-in-laws mother.

Stamps:  Teeny Tiny Wishes, Hello Again (can see it very faintly on the pink layer)

Cardstock:  Orchid Opulence, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, spring designer papers

Ink:  Orchid Opulence, Pretty in Pink

Other:  Pretties Kit, Butterflies Die, Big Shot, Square Lattice and Dots embossing folders, Large Oval/Scallop Oval punches, Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

This card was for my mother.  I love the purples and greens in these designer papers!  I love the flower and leaves, so I cut one of those out each, and mounted onto coordinating cardstock and then cut out again.

Stamps:  Well Scripted

Cardstock:  Orchid Opulence, Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Certainly Celery

Other:  Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon, Large Oval/Scallop Oval punches, Stampin' Dimensionals
