Wishing - The Challenge #72

Hello friends, happy Friday! I hope you have a great day today.

I made a card today using the colours from The Challenge #72 to make a card. I used the Delightful Dahlia Additions stamp set and matching dies from Papertrey Ink. I have had this stamp set for quite awhile but have not used it very much because I find it a bit of a challenge to line up the layers. Maybe I need to invest in a Mini Misti.

I used three different shades of blue ink to stamp the flowers and then filled in the centres with Copic markers.

Below is a list of the supplies I used.

Happy Mother's Day

Hello friends, I hope you are having a great week so far. Today I made a card for Mother's Day even though my mother passed away 10 years ago, I thought I would still make a card for the occassion.

I decided to colour some Light Modelling Paste with my Abandoned Coral distress ink pad. I then used the Heidi Swapp Doily Flower 6x6 stencil to make the flowered background.

I die cut the word Happy three times from some navy blue card stock and then glued them together to give the word some thickness.

I put the main panel on foam tape as well as the little Mother's Day sentiment to add even more dimension to the card.

I very happy with how it turn out.

Below is a list of the supplies I used.

Stamps: Mama Elephant - Happy Everything
Dies: Mama Elephant - Happy Script
