Hello my crafty friends! Today's card is a revamp of a card that I did several years ago for my Mom for Mother's Day, at least in styling and colour. I have updated it with different dies and embellishments. I love the way it came out even more than the original! I started with the
Canadian Background and cut it out of
coconut white card. I raised it with foam for dimension and mounted it over another piece of white card that I covered with
Iced Snow for a bit of bling. I used the
Pavo Gemini die and cut the decorative piece with both cutting edges out of white card. I cut a matching backing out of
custard card and glued the pieces together. I added it to the left hand side of the card with foam and added a double row of
white flatback pearls to the edge. Next I cut the backing for the sentiment using the
Vancouver die set out of
custard card. I backed it in white. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the oval from the
Montreal die set. I mounted it in the upper corner of the card. Using both sets of the
Perfect Peonies, I created a variety of different sized two tone flowers and arranged the in the lower right corner. I added
Mosaic Leaves in white as embellishments. The card was then completed with a paper pierced white mat, a thin custard mat and a final white mat layer. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this one, just leave me a comment. The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x
