Mojo Monday 444-Mom

Happy Monday!  It's time for a new Mojo Monday sketch. I've had requests from my co-workers to bring in a few cards for Mother's Day, so I used the sketch along with stamps and dies from Verve to put together this design.

I used the Simply Daisies die from Verve's latest release as my focal image.  I cut the daisies from white cardstock and layered them with foam tape.  The center is a contrasting yellow pierced circle die cut, also attached with foam tape.  I placed the daisy on a yellow pierced circle die cut matted with a dark gray circle.  The leaves, made with a circle punch, were tucked underneath the raised flower.

I made a backdrop for the pretty flower by arranging a trio of gray and white striped patterned paper rectangles on a pale yellow cardstock panel.  Each panel was matted on pale gray cardstock to set it off from the yellow background.  I added the flower on top along with a pair of fishtail flag strips.  The "Mom" sentiment from the Wonderful Marvelous set was stamped in gray pigment ink on the gray fishtail flag strip.  I adhered the finished panel to a coordinating pale gray card base.
