Using a recipe ......

I'm getting ahead & have started making Mothers Day cards ........

This one is using the recipe that Sue provided over on Crafts by Carolyn forum.

A butterfly, a circle & a gem.

I used my nestibilities, the scalloped circle to cut & emboss the circle

then I stamped in the middle

& mounted it onto the striped paper background.

The gem is the pearl in the middle of the flower. I also used my Martha Stewart punch for the leaves

and mounted the flower & leaves onto the ribbon.

The butterfly is punched out using my Martha Stewart punch & double layered & the top layer stickled with silver Stickles.

and to finish I stamped the Happy Mothers Day sentiment straight onto the card.

Mothers Day card

I made this Mothers Day card again using Copic markers to colour in. Colours would again fit the Copic Challenge. Again I've had trouble photographing the colour purple - the flowers aren't blue, they are purple!! After all the cute girlie images I decided to use Hamish - boys send cards to their mothers don't they? Didn't seem to go down well with the male of the family though - oh well ..............................................




The inside of the card has some flowers, stamped, coloured & cut out & of course the sentiment.
