THANK You

This is the final card that was part of the One Sheet Wonder commission that was recently published in Simply Cards & Papercraft.

I used a sheet of 12x12" paper from the Echo Park Happy Easter Collection and some light blue card stock. I punched the border from pink card stock with a Fiskars Apron Lace border punch.  The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat and I cut it out with Tattered Lace Essential Circles Dies.

The flowers are a Crafter's Companion Die'sire Essentials Flowers for all Occasions die with some brads from my stash in the centre.

I really enjoyed creating these 'One Sheet Wonder' cards, I think I will certainly be doing this again.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Happy Mother's Day

This is the Mother's Day card I made for my MIL this year.  She loves flowers so I decided to use my Crafter's Companion A Country Life CD - there are some gorgeous floral images on there.

I used a Card Companion, Design Paper and Co-ordinating Paper along with some purple card stock.  I printed the Card Companion twice so that I could decoupage the flower, I also added some sparkle to the bloom with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen.  The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat, sadly no longer trading and I added some enamel dots.

I used some more Design Papers and Co-ordinating papers with the verse writer to decorate the inside of my card.
