Pin It Now!
Spring is finally in swing! I'm thinking ahead to Mother's Day, and bringing the sunshine indoors with this fresh color combo at Hand Stamped Sentiments...Coastal Cabana, Gumball Green, and Crushed Curry.
Do you ever make a card that requires you to tear into every corner of your craft room? This is one of those! I loved making it, but it took me 'round the crafty world, so to speak. Big Shot - Glue Gun (blistered thumb) - sewing machine in the far corner - heat embossing drawer - the punches - oh, and the box of SU goodies that was laying on the floor waiting to be unpacked!
The Originals Spiral Flower Die makes every card it sits on EXTRA special. And that's what my mother-in-law is, so this will be headed her way next month. Core'dinations makes these flowers so much easier to work with. You can really grubby this cardstock up and it doesn't tear!
Inside, a cluster of flowers from Simple Stems. I have made a habit of adding a layer to the inside of my cards to strengthen it and give a little more depth.
I'm using our color combo at HSS, but also I'm playing along with Pal's Paper Arts. Click the pics below to visit the sites for plenty of inspiration!
By the way, the sketch for this card is something I grabbed from page 99 of the Idea Book. Different elements, but great looking layout!

ReplyDeleteErika, this is gorgeous! So many beautiful details--the stitching, the pearls the scallops. I really like the chalk talk die as a backdrop for the flower. Great job with both challenges! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us at The Paper Players!
