Mother's Day cards.

I used a new Altenew stamp set to make the cards for Mothering Sunday, one for my mum, the other for my mother-in-law.

I used different colours for each card, after stamping the cards I masked them to stamp leaves in both shades of green and aqua.

Each flower has four layers, I used a MISTI to stamp accurately. The centre of the flower has a set of layering stamps too that can be added in contrasting colours, but I chose not to stamp these.

I added wet glue to the middle of the flower and -after searching through my stash- I found microbeads and added them to the wet glue. The cards were finished with a sentiment stamped over the flower in Versafine black.

Mother's Day

To make the cards for my mum and Kevin's mum, I used a die set by Anna Griffin, along with some of her stamps.

The dies come from the flip card kit, I decided not to make up one of the more simple pre-cut cards, but to make mine from scratch.

 I do like the sentiments, and that they fit exactly into the die cut images. The ones on the outside were stamped using my MISTI as the frame and sentiment were separate, then cut out.
I hope they like them.

Mothering Sunday

More stamped Anna Griffin cards for Mother's day, one for my Mum and the other for my Mother in Law.

 These both have stamped borders, Cuttlebug die cuts using pearlescent papers and decoupaged flowers.

The sentiments are both stamped too in the pretty ink colours from the AG ink pads. We are going out for a celebratory lunch for both Mother's day and my Dad's birthday which is next week.

I'm back!!!

..on my own PC, just have to find my fave sites again... think this could take all night.

And only almost a week late here is the card i made for Mothers day last Sunday. The papers are Do Crafts from the yellow capsule collection and the flower stamp (as ever) is from Unity. I added more of those Beadazzles to the centre of the flowers. The sentiment stamp is one i picked up last year for only 50p... i knew it would come in handy!!

Two crops this weekend, one in Bedworth, the other in Nuneaton and Monday off (Yay!!)
