Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day
# 491-2016-02
It's another week for the MojoMonday challenge and this card makes the 491st card I have made since I first started making cards about 6 yrs ago. 
Here is a link to the MojoMonday challenge : http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com.

And here is a little bit about my card....

I chose a Pink blank card for the main part of my card. On the front, I chose a green color. I'm not sure of what shade of green it is, but I thought it was the perfect shade of green to go with the pink. 
Next, I used my Photo Frame embossing folder to give my background a cool looking border. 

Then I chose some white lace ribbon to go around the main theme with pink brads on the corners. I chose a Mother's Day theme this week. The patterned paper I used is from the Pretty In Pastels and Mum's The Word paper collections that I downloaded and printed up from the Papercraft Inspirations website.
My sentiment is from Mum's The Word. The sentiment is attached to a pink circle and a scalloped circle. I used a circle framelit die cut with pink paper and then I chose the same shade of green with a scalloped circle die cut. All of this put together gives my card kind of a vintage look.

Thank you for stopping by. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

Supplies used :
Cardstock : Pastel green, green marble, Dots & Stripes paper pack, white, hunter green
Framelits : stamp & cut butterflies, stamp & cut flowers, scalloped squares
Die cuts : branch w/ leaves die cut
Stamp sets : stamp & cut butterflies, stamp & cut flowers, handwritten sentiments
Inks : Perfect Plum, Lavender Lace, Elegant Eggplant
Other : sequins

I decided to make another card for this weeks http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com card challenge.

However, I decided to make a square card instead of the normal 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card.

I used a scalloped square framelit with pastel green cardstock for the blank card. Then I used green marble cardstock for the first layer or background. Then I cut a strip of a striped paper from my Dots & Stripes paper pack and used it behind my flowers.

I used my branch w/ leaves die cut with hunter green paper to go behind my flowers, which are stamped onto white paper with Lavender Lace ink and cut out with the matching framelit.

I used Elegant eggplant for the 2 butterflies, which are also cut out using the matching framelit.
The sentiment is stamped on using Perfect Plum ink. Then I added the sequins to give my card an added look.
I hope you will enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you for stopping by.

This is my card for this weeks Mojo Monday card challenge, which is located at http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com

I chose a Valentine's Day theme for my card. I started with a Pink Marbled blank cardstock, which is cut to a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Then I cut a chocolate brown and another pink marble cardstock down to the desired size for the background.

The patterned paper is cut down to 2" x 4" and is placed on the left side. Then I cut a paper doily in half and adhered it to the right side. 

Then I cut out a scalloped square using chocolate brown paper and then I cut out a light marble pink for the front. I used a heart stamp before using the matching framelit.

I used chocolate chip ink to highlight the doily. Then I used some Baker's Twine on the side with a red heart brad, along with using the 2 glittered hearts.

This completes my card for this weeks Mojo Monday sketch challenge. Thank you for stopping by.

Flowers for you...

Flowers for you
# 435-2015-05
Supplies used :
Cardstock : White, Black, Red, Simple Stories paper pack
Stamps : Flowers for you rubber stamp set
Tools : Paper piercing Tool, Apothecary Accents framelits, Dots embossing folder
Other : colored pencils, glitter acrylic paint
Ink : Black, Red
Accessories : 1/4" black ribbon

This Mother's Day card was made for this weeks Mojo Monday card sketch challenge. You can find this challenge at http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com

First, I started with a white blank card. Then I added a black and then another white layer. I embossed the top white layer with a dots embossing folder.

The red with white dots paper and the 2 banners at the top are from the Snap Color Vibe paper pack from Simple Stories. The red with white dots paper is bordered with black 1/4" ribbon.

The image behind the vase with flowers is bordered with a black 1/4" ribbon rather than using black paper. 

The vase was stamped onto white paper with black ink and then I used a blue glitter acrylic paint to give it its color.

The ribbon on the front of the vase was stamped onto white paper with red ink and then colored in with a red colored pencil.

The 2 flower bouquets were stamped onto white paper with black ink and then colored in using colored pencils. Then I cut them out and used double-sided dimensional stickers to adhere them to the card.

The sentiment was stamped on with black ink. I used the Apothecary Accents framelits.

I hope you have enjoyed my card. Thank you for stopping by. Please feel free to follow my blog via email, bloglovin, or my networked blogs. You can also find me on facebook.
