Catch-Up Blog Post

I haven't been very good at blogging lately and so have a few things to share with you.  Today I am sharing the mother's day cards that I made this year.

I made both cards the same but in different colour ways.

I started by covering card blanks using background papers.

Next I added doilies, pleating the larger back ones. 

The sentiment was stamped and cut around and then layered onto the doilies.

After this the fun began as I started to choose different paper flowers and beads to embellish the cards.

I drew a border using a fine tip pen to create squiggle lines.

So - there you have it..... 2 similar but very different mother's days cards for 2 very special mums.

Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mothering Sunday in the UK. 

I have already shared the gift that I made my mum - the Powertex figure.  I went to visit mum today - she didn't know we were going and was surprised to see us!  I also had a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered in the morning.

Here is the card that I made for mum....

 I embossed grey card and used this as my background.

The banner was punched and sentiment stamped.  I added a bow to the top of this.

I die cut various flowers ad leaves and layered them together - adding pearls and gems to the middle of them.

Simple... but pretty!  And mum loved it!!

Thanks for looking.....
