For my card, I used a wonderful stamp by our sponsor this week, the very generous STAMPlorations. I used MOM Subway Art Builders #3 "Quiet Strength." It is one of a series of subway art stamps for moms and I loved the various descriptors...they fit my mom perfectly! This card is going to her, for sure.
While you could cut this stamp up to separate each phrase, I just masked repeatedly with a post-it and it worked fine!
For the frame, I did some inlaid die cutting, replacing one layer of the "frame" with a floral patterned paper instead of cream card stock. While it may look multi-layered, my card is actually only one later on top of the card base, so it is very flat and easy for mailing.
I'm also linking my card up to the April CAS Card Challenge at the STAMPlorations Blog where the theme is "Anything Goes" and green is the color twist; I used some floral paper with lots of greens!
What comes to mind when you hear MOM? I can't wait to see your cards! Be sure to link them up by noon on Monday (Central time). Be sure to check out the Design Team and Guest Designer blogs, too!
This is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove how you incorporated so many colors, and the patterned paper mat.
ReplyDeleteThis is warm, cozy and perfect for a Mother's Day card Judy! I love the sweet floral paper you added to your inlaid layer!!
ReplyDeleteLove the card Judy. I couldn't figure out how you did the different colors on the stamp. Masking, cool. I thought you may have used the Misti.
ReplyDeleteWhat comes to mind? A darling hand-made dress in a fabric much like the patterned paper you've used here, Judy! LOve this darling card, and to have your Mom still, a gift! And I know you appreciate her so much. xx

ReplyDeleteJudy, I LOVE that replaced, patterned paper frame, highlighting the colours used in the sentiment! Such a lovely idea to give each sentiment its own colour. A very, very pretty card!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Judy! I love the tiny floral print as a frame! Makes me think of a comforting quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card, Judy! I love how you framed out your sentiment, and your floral papers are so lovely! So clever to stamp each line in different colors, too!
ReplyDeleteHey Judy!! Your card is worth framing. When I look at it, I feel like it belongs on a wall. So pretty and so fitting for a mom. Nicely done.
