With All My Heart

For today's Clear and Simple Stamps preview, the design team is showing off CSS's new sentiment and background sets.  The new All Occasions 1 and 2 sets were perfect for this week’s blogger challenge to create a project celebrating mothers, grandmothers, or sisters in honor of Mother’s Day.  I based my card on this week’s Mojo Monday sketch.

For the focal image, I stamped one of the floral images from the new All Occasions 2 set on a piece of white cardstock and colored the flowers with Copic markers. I stamped one of the set’s vase images in black ink on a cardstock scrap and colored it in, then added it beneath the flowers with foam tape. For the sentiment, I die cut a piece of pink cardstock with one of CSS’s Labels 9 dies and attached a piece of the die cut at the bottom of the image panel. The “with all my heart” sentiment from the All Occasions 1 set is stamped on the pink piece in Coral Necklace ink.

The card base is made from a large white scalloped circle layered with a slightly smaller Coral Necklace circle. A strip of elegant pale pink patterned paper runs across the card. I attached a strip of white lace to the center of the patterned paper panel before layering the image panel on top. A coordinating Coral Necklace button, tied with a little linen thread, sits at the other side of the lace strip.
