This week Nancyruth challenged us to make a Mother's Day card. Since I need a couple anyway, it's no challenge but a godsend! Makes me get er done! LOL. My problem? I took them into work and SOLD them - So now, I have to make more! Duh-- what was I thinking? Oh yeah-- making money let's me BUY more stuff~~ BAWAHAAHA~~ Anyway, I am trying to upscale my cards a little by adding features outside my box - this card I used a swirl punch that I have had......a long time - you know the saying use WHAT YOU HAVE instead of buying more-- well, I am trying. (I really like BUYING new - LOL) In fact, I recently bought the ms punch (bottom border) and I LOVE THIS PUNCH - it works so well with the pearls - the rose is from GKD
A Year of Flowers that I glittered with a Jelly roll glitter pen (I am not impressed on how it photographs though - it looks much better IRL) I also used a leaf punch. For background I used my friend the cuttlebug with the "color your folder with ink before embossing" technique for the background argyle folder, [this is for STV challenge by Sharri] and just the dots folder for the other one. Bling is some clearance stuff I found at Mike's. I really was happy with this card~~ my boss was too since he bought it for HIS mom! Since I don't duplicate cards I will be making another one for me.... but it won't be the same.
Please come and join in with the
Stampin B's! This is such an easy challenge - I know you will need to make at least 1 Mom's day card...even if its for a friend! Hope to see you there!
