Mother's Day Card!

Hi Everybody! It's great to have you back here and happy Sunday (unless you're on the opposite side of the world from me... then happy day!)! Today I'm pretty excited about my post because I've been invited by the crew over at Paper-Garden to participate in a Mother's Day card challenge that they are holding. They've got some really great prizes for the winners so I'm hoping you might head over there and vote for me if you like my card. CLICK HERE to check out all of the participants and their submissions. My card is number 11 which happens to be my lucky number!

For my card I used a Simon Says Stamp stamp set called Mom's Clematis. The flower in this set is so gorgeous I couldn't resist buying it. I used my Copic markers to color in the flower on shimmer paper. You can't see the shimmer in the photos but in real life this flower really sparkles.

I heat embossed the "Mom" in white on black cardstock. I love how bold that beautiful font is. The background piece is Soft Sky from Stampin' Up! and is stamped repeatedly in Smoky Slate for a grungy effect with a stamp from the Timeless Textures set.

My mat was created by splattering some watered down Fresh Fig ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I used sparkly embossing paste with a touch of Pink Pirouette ink added in to emboss the background using a Tim Holtz mini stencil. I finished the card off with some sequins and I am excited to give this card to my Mom for Mother's Day!

Funny side story... My husband saw this card and told me he wanted it for his mom. I said, "Sorry babe but it's for my Mom." He said he had to give this card to his mom. I offered to make a duplicate (instead of a different design) for her... he said it absolutely had to be this very card. He's pretty funny. My Mother-in-Law is an amazing woman so she will absolutely get a gorgeous card from us. 

That's it for today folks! Thanks so much for stopping by and please head on over to the Paper-Garden site and vote for your favorite card. While you are there I recommend checking out their amazing paper selection. They recently sent me a sample pack of paper and it is so gorgeous! They've get metallic paper that is double sided and is really unlike any paper I've used before. I am planning to do a video to review it and share how awesome it is in the next couple of weeks so keep your eye out for that.

Have an amazing day you guys! I'll see you back here soon!
