Mother's Day

This gate-fold card was made mainly using pieces from the Artisan Embellishments Kit, More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper and a pretty stamp set called Summer Silhouettes, which suits so many different occasions.. A pretty way to let a very special Mum know how much she's loved and appreciated for all she's done!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi there. I thought I would share with you the Mother's Day cards I made for both my Mother and Mother In Law.

The squeeze/cascading vintage cards were made using an A4 sheet of Very Vanilla card, matted with Soft Suede and First Edition Speciality Designer Series Paper. I used the Large En Francais (109521) stamp for the background The wonderfully versatile Everything Eleanor Stamp set was used for the decorations, along with  an Antique Brad (117273) and the bow was made with Victoria Crochet Trim (118481).  Although I've added too many embellishments, I really like the basis of the card.  Have a good day.
