Better late than never...

MOTHER'S DAY / FLORAL CHALLENGE

 

I wanted to make sure to post my Design Team Card for Digi Haven

Even though I am really late in doing so, please forgive me for my lateness

I really have no good excuse, other than life just gets in the way of my CREATIVE TIME

 

Here's my card using Fancy Flowers digital set from My Grafico

 

I used the following Copic markers to color my image:  B60, BV02, BV13, G14, Y02

I cut the scallop from Cricut cartridge "Just Because Cards" page 42 <Truck-s> cut at 5-1/2"

Sentiment from Close to My Heart

Finished the card with yellow brads and green ribbon

Happy Monday! 

I have two posts today, the first one is for my DT creation for Tammy's Scrapin' Corner

 

Our theme this week for challenge #61

Mothers Day

 

My mother unexpectedly and suddenly passed away last year on Mother's Day

This week is going to be rather different and difficult for my family

May 10th would have been her birthday

Sunday is our first Mother's Day without her

Monday 13 is the 1st anniversary of her passing

 

But, she loved that I have a passion for creating and making cards

And she had a passion for flowers and gardening

So this BRIGHT and CHEERY card is for you MOM, I miss you and love you

 

 

Image is called Flowers from QKR Stampede, who is one of our sponsors this week.

Mother's Day

This week is my first challenge as a new Design Team member over at Made Especially for You and we have a weekly challenge for you today... Create a Mother's Day card using ribbon.  I used the Tulip Buggies image from our sponsor, Meljen's Designs for my card.

This week our randomly chosen winner will receive four (4) non-colored images of their choice from our sponsor Meljen's Designs.




My card is a 5" x 5-1/2" black card base.  I printed the digi image twice at 4" x 5" on white and colored both in with the following Copic Ciao markers:

G00, G02, G05, YR00, YR02, YR04, RV02, RV04, B00, B23, Y00, Y02, Y06, C-1, C-5

One image is for the card and the other one I used to cut out the bees, tulip, leaves, bird and two small flowers to mount on top on the one for the card.

I cut the scalloped green gingham paper from my Cricut "Just Because" Cards cartridge, page 52 <Truck-s> at 5-1/2" .  The green gingham corner is cut at 2-1/2".  The sentiments are both from Close to My Heart.  I stamped both with Memento Black Tuxedo ink on to tag and a 1-3/4" circle punch.  Layer all paper pieces as shown in the photo, working back to front.

Finishing touches adhesive pearls from Recollection, white polka dotted orange grosgrain ribbon, green safety pin and white gel pen for hi-lights on the tulip and leaves.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great week.
