Hi!
So here is my DT contribution for Addicted to stamps and more – but it is also my Mothers Day card I made for my Mum a few weeks ago but we only got around to celebrating Mother’s Day last weekend as I had been poorly.
I made this when the whole craft room was in disarray with most of the supplies already packed up in another room as I’ve been redecorating the craft room and so needed to go through everything and clear out!
I did however still have some patterned paper in the stuff still in the room so when I saw an old 6×6 pad of pink papers that made me grab two of them to make a simple background panel.
I inked the smaller panel to just give it a little definition and then glued them in place on a 6×6 card base.
Then I die cut some leaves from the Alex Syberia die that I had just bought in the sale and used for my daughter’s birthday card. As I made this on the same day there is a sense of similarity to the two cards. I inked the leaves using ink and water using Lost Lagoon and Tranquil Tide and then layered them onto the card.
I then used some little layering flower embellishments (this is a sneak peek at a future Kingston Crafts release) and inked them in pink and yellow with a small blending brush. I adhered them together and then glued an enamel dot in the centre of each as the flower centre.
Then I added them to the card along with a few of the leaves from the same kit of flowers which I inked with the lost lagoon.
Next I die cut the letters for the sentiment from pink foiled cardstock and punched hearts to finish off with the same shiny pink.
A pretty simple card but given the lack of readily available supplies I am amazed I managed this (I had contemplated buying one but that seemed like a crime given how much stash I have! 🤣)
Happy crafting!
