Double D, Pretty Florals For Mom

Good Morning! 

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile:

Pretty Florals For Mom.

This was a tough Challenge for me. 

I used to make 3 Mother's Day Cards, 

but I lost my Sister and my dear Mom last year.

So now I only make one for my beautiful Daughter.

Creativity Soothes The Soul.

I had this gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio Paper

that I wanted to use, Sunshine On My Mind.

Really beautiful floral prints and patterns in fantastic colors.

PFS Sentiment, Floral Notes stamp and stencil sets.

Ornate Circle dies, cut in Vellum, 

cropped and added to each end.

Floral Circle dies, just for the Circle portion.

Frantic Stamper Mix N' Match Poppy dies.

Gold Embossing Powder.

Gold Mirror Paper.

Vellum.

Foam Dots.

PFS Jewels, 12 Pack.

A Regular Slimline Card,

which I very rarely make!

And if you make a Slimline Card

you usually have to make a matching envelope.

I adore this color combo!

Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!

You'll be glad you did as there is always a pretty prize up for grabs!

Wrapped Flowers

Good Monday Morning!

 

Back again with another post at the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.     

Today's card is for Mother's Day, which is fast approaching.  This year it is on May 8th.

 

Flowers are always such a sure bet for Mother's Day!

 

I first created a paper cone to place my bouquet of poppies inside.  I used the beautiful Mix N' Match Poppies die from Frantic Stamper.  Gorgeous!  I die cut them out of water color paper and then proceeded to paint them.  Glued several on the cone then layered a piece of tulle, giving more dimension, and then I added more pretty yellow poppies.  Arranged a few of the die leaves around and sentiment tag, Die-Namics, Stitched Traditional Tags.  Decorated the cone itself with Polka Dot Designer Paper, Baker's Twine and a pretty little Heart Charm.     Found some beautiful Designer Paper in my stash with gold accents and created my background.  Sheer Yellow Ribbon and mini Candy Dot for accents.

I knew the cone needed just one more embellishment so I grabbed the Musical Stave die by Amy Design.  I cut it out of Toner Paper and then ran it through my Mini Minc Machine with Gold Foil.....WOW!  The detail is AHmazing!!!

I also added a butterfly using the Butterfly Set # 2 by, Dies R Us.  I cut 2 different ones, one in teal and the other from Toner Paper, again running it through my Mini Minc Machine with Gold Foil.  Another WOW!!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
