I am really good at making cards but suck horribly at actually mailing cards. This year I was remiss and did not make a card for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. When we spoke to her on Sunday she talked about how she has kept every card I have ever sent her and when I told her I didn't make any cards this year for Mother's Day she laughing said "she was giving me one week to get her card to her". My mother-in-law is definitely a character. So in an effort not to disappoint her I made her a Mother's Day card and she will get it within the week.
Using the colors from Rebecca's photo in this month color challenge I started with the flowers. I die cut several of the flowers and one of the stems from Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Orchid Layering Dies using white Hammermill 100 lb. cardstock that I purchased on Amazon. Then I used Altenew Fresh Dye Inks from the Cherry Blossom and Pocketful of Sunshine sets to ink blend the flowers before assembling them.
The blue cardstock piece used for grounding the flowers is cut from Altenew Iceberg cardstock using Mama Elephant's Deckled Frames die set. Once I started assembling the card the background of the card base was way too plain and unfinished looking so I grab Altenew's Organic Linen embossing folder and embossed the front of the card base. I love this embossing folder! I then used some Dr. PH Martin's Bleed Proof White to do some splatters before adhering the sentiment with foam.
Supplies Used:
Altenew Fresh Dye Ink - Cherry Blossom and Pocketful of Sunshine
Altenew Cardstock - Iceberg and Grass Field
Neenah 110 lb cardstock and Hammermill 100 lb cardstock
