Time Out S.W.A.L.K. Happy Mother's Day

Hello bloggers today I have a card that could be used for many an occasion if you changed the sentiment.  I do love this card as this is just what I need a little time out for myself.


This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First I cut some green polka dot paper to 5x7 and added some ribbon down one side before tying a bow to the front.  This was then adhered to the front of the card.  Next I stamped my topper using Crafter's Companion S.W.A.L.K  'time out' stamp set.  Once stamped the image was die cut using Spellbinders 'labels H' die set and then coloured using Whispers markers.  Glossy accents were added to the bubbles and water to give is some texture and glossiness.  Using some green holographic mirror board I die cut two mats for the topper using Spellbinders 'labels H' die set.  These were adhered to the back of the topper offset to form a mat.  The topper was then added to the card.  Next using white card stock and the same stamp set as above I stamped my sentiments using walnut stain distress ink.  These were fussy cut and adhered to the card using foam pads.   Next I stamped 'happy mother's day' sentiment onto some white card stock.  This was then die cut using Spellbinders 'floral doily motif' die set. I then inked the topper up using a pink ProMarker to bring some more pink into the card.    This was then adhered to the ribbon in the bottom left corner of the card.

Flowers are the music of life ~ button florals

Hello bloggers today I have a delightful floral card made using the button florals stamp set.



This card began as a white hammered 6x6 card blank.  To the front I adhered some pink pearlescent card stock.  Next I made a mat 5.5" square using some red waxed paper.  I then embossed it using That Special Touch Mask 'polka dot'.  Using some pink ribbon I wrapped this around the top corner of the red paper and then back round the opposite bottom corner where I tied a bow.  The mat was then adhered to the card.   Next  using a circle punch I punched out a circle from pink card and stamped onto it a sentiment using staz-on black ink pad and Creative Expressions 'button florals' stamp set.  A mat was cut for the topper using some lilac pearlescent paper and Spellbinders 'floral doily motif' die set.  The topper and mat were then adhered to the card.  Using some 2" wide strips of paper I scored and concertina the paper to make some concertina flowers.  On one flower I added a brad and another I added a button the other two were left bare.  Next I die cut some foliage using green ribbed paper and Spellbinders 'foliage' die set.  These were adhered to the card with the flowers.
