Blogger Challenge: Week 150

This week’s blogger challenge is a theme challenge—Mother’s Day. Since my mom is one of my blog readers, I figured I’d wait to share her card until after I’d given it to her over the weekend. The card I made to share today is already in the mail, on the way to my aunt so it will reach her in time for the holiday.

I combined three different Papertrey Ink stamp sets for the stamped image panel. The leafy branch is from Turning a New Leaf, the flowers are from last year’s anniversary set, Everyday Classics, and the sentiment is from Blooming Button Bits. The images are stamped with PTI inks on a Sweet Blush panel. I used a slot punch to punch a slot in the left side of the panel. A piece of coordinating grosgrain ribbon is threaded through the slot and tied off with a button-embellished piece of twine.

I kept the rest of the layout pretty simple. The stamped panel is layered on a piece of coordinating dotted paper. I ran a scalloped strip along the right side of the card to balance the pop of bright color on the left side. The final detail was dotting on just a bit of Pink Petal Liquid Pearls at the center of each flower for texture and dimension.
