Well, as we all know, Mother's Day is coming in just a couple of weeks and I really needed to get a card made for the moms. I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like, but alas, I couldn't find the stamps I wanted. But I did find this one and I like it. It has an element of fun about it!
I started with my new white linen cardstock and cut an oval for the stamp to show through. The text sheet behind is a very pale yellow. I used the Design Runner for the wording. That worked very well, but took a test run to get it right. Then I added the quilled flowers and shapes. Behold, a very personalized Mother's Day card.
And, while I had the time, I made this abstract piece. I'm trying to incorporate more elements into my cards. This uses layering (white linen, peach and printed papers), quilling (royal blue, carmel, coral, red and white 1/16 inch) and embossing powder.
Both cards turned out really well and I'm glad that I took the time to play with some new ideas and elements. I hope that you enjoy looking at them!
