A Bouquet for Mom Card

Well now that Easter is over, it is time to start making Mother's Day cards.  I thought this Picked for You stamp from Fun Stampers Journey would make a lovely card.   All the products used are listed at the end of this post.


I started out by choosing a Grape Fusion Cardstock for the base of my card.  I then stamped the image on to Whip Cream Cardstock using Black Licorice ink.  I colored it and the frame around the image using my Copic Markers.  



After coloring, I cut out the oval to fit inside the Fancy Oval Frames die.  I love how it perfectly framed the image.  This was then attached to the Frilly Frames Lattice Die and placed onto the base card.

Finally, I added the sentiment (from my stash) by stamping onto Whip Cream Cardstock using Black Licorice ink.  It was then cut out and added to the card using foam squares.

I really like this background die.  It adds such a pretty element to cards.  I hope you like it too.  This card is also mail friendly.

Pretty and Simple Mother's Day Card.

I loved this stamped image from Fun Stampers Journey.  It is so pretty and easy to color.  It makes a striking addition to any card.   (All products used are listed below).



I chose the vase image from the Handpicked for You stamp set.  It was stamped onto Whip Cream cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I then colored the image  with my copic alcohol markers and die cut it out using the matching die.  The image was then set aside while I completed the remainder of the card.


I chose this awesome framed piece from the RSVP prints.  I love the corner images and how it frames the card front so perfectly.  I think the stamp companies should make some corner stamps for just this use.  What do you think?  Anyway, I chose the one I wanted and cut it out.  Then, I used a large picket fence blender brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to color the center of the panel.  I then splattered the same panel using Cool Pool, Bubble Gum, and Sparkle Silks.  I love how perfectly they matched the image colors I used.  

I centered the image on the panel and popped it up using foam squares.  Once attached, I stamped the sentiment from the Silly Goose stamp set using Black Licorice Ink directly onto the panel.  

I attached the panel to a base card of Cool Pool.  As a final touch, I added the pearls from the Cottage Pearls set.  I really love the clean, neat look of this card and the soft colors.  I hope you do too!
