Mum

Hi bloggers!  As promised, here is a sample showing the Mom die made into a Mum card.  I started with a piece of dusty rose card (from my stash) and embossed it with one of our latest embossing folders called Heart Strings.  Using one of the edgers from the Chantilly Lace Edger set, I cut the borders into a piece of coconut white card and extended them both.  I glued them to the top and bottom edges of the embossed card.  I cut the Mom die out of white card and nipped away the top of the "O" to create the "U".  There are some small flowers in the set that you can add at the top so that the letters all stay the same height, but since I was mounting it diagonally, I decided to leave them as is for this card.  I cut a dusty rose backing piece for each of the letters and glued them together then added mounting foam to the back and mounted them diagonally across the card.  For a floral accent, I cut the Passion Flowers in white and added a backing piece that was cut with a sticky adhesive sheet attached to white card.  I put the two pieces together then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive.  I added small 3 mm white flatback pearls to the centres and seated the flowers in the corners.  I added some leaves as accents around them.  A simple white on white mat and layer completed the card.  The finished dimensions are 6" x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
