Here are a couple of Mother’s Day cards.
I let two of my favorite coordinating designer papers bring some rich color to this first card. The sentiment is stamped right on to the pattern.
A single line of embossing at the top of the card adds a little fun. A rhinestone is placed on the sequin. I think it makes it look like a sparkly little flower.
On this card the leaves and flowers are stamped on colored cardstock. They have been colored with Copics and the flowers have been die cut.
I like the look of the lavender cardstock border on the die cut flowers. Usually I stamp on white card stock, so when the image is die cut it leaves a white border. However with these flowers, the border blends into the floral image. And again rhinestones are placed on the sequins. Just can’t help myself!

Your cards are both lovely. That bird is perfect for Mother’s day. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.

These are both such pretty cards for Mother’s Day! I love the lavender colors, and the touch of embossing across the top. Adding a sparkly gemstone to the sequin is a great trick to make flowers!
These are beautiful cards. I love your card for Time Out-such stunning colours and super colouring and love the touch of ribbon. Thanks for joining Time Out x
Oh wow these are both stunning, love the deep colors and patterns on the first card.
The way you did the border of flowers on the second is such a pretty touch, worked out great on the colored background, so neat to see your birds done so differently!
