Happy Mother's Day - Kelly Bates
Just look at that floral paper… it’s gorgeous! There’s also a light script text overlay on it too for some subtle texture.
For this card I started out with a sheet of Smooth White Cardstock and created the white outer frame using the two largest Stitched Rectangle Nesting Dies which I taped together with washi to hold them in place. I then cut a piece of acetate just smaller than my frame and used double sided tape to attach it to the back of the frame. I die cut the Happy Mothers Day layered die set background layer from the lighter blue cardstock in the Stormy Seas Shimmer Cardstock pack and the sentiment from Whisper White Shimmer Cardstock, glued those together and set them under a heavy book to dry.
I cut the Botanical Bloom patterned paper from the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and glued it to the front of an A6 Card Base, then added a small pile of the shaker pieces on top. I foam mounted the frame over the front of the card and again set it under something heavy for a minute to make sure it had stuck down properly (there’s nothing worse than when your shaker leaks). I added my sentiment across the front of the card to finish.
Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon! – Kelly
