Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who may be reading this! I hope you are spoiled rotten today and truly appreciated!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Happy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In anticipation of this special day, I created some cards for the moms in my life that mean so much to me. I’m sharing one of those cards here today (spoiler alert for my awesome MIL):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This sweet card features the Mega Happy die paired with the Mega Greetings 2 stamp set. I set up the stamp in my Misti and inked it with Peony, Bubble Gum and Citrine inks from The Stamp Market<\/a> to get an ombre effect on the stamp. It helps to use a little sponge dauber where the inks overlap to blend out any harsh lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After stamping this, I placed the Penny Black Dots in Space background stamp into the base of my Misti, image side up, and inked the polka dots in a similar ombre fashion. I then kissed the “happy” stamp down onto the dotted background stamp to transfer the inked dots, and then I placed my cardstock back in the Misti and stamped the happy again to get the dotted detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added a white on black embossed sentiment strip from an older set from my stash and then got to work on the layout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to add interest in the background that didn’t compete with my bold sentiment. To do this, I started by dry embossing my A2 card front with an old embossing folder in my stash that no longer has a label so I’m sorry I can’t tell you where it came from – LOL! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next I cut several silhouette dies using the Field Flowers Die set<\/a> from The Stamp Market. This set is intended to pair with the Field Flowers stamp set<\/a>, but I just used the white silhouettes and lightly inked them with Leafy and Greenery Inks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I added dimension to my “happy” die cut by glueing 3 layers behind it and then adhered it to a wide strip of cardstock that I cut to fit diagonally across the cardfront. I popped up this diagonal panel with foam tape and then tucked the bits of greenery behind it to frame out the sentiment. A few enamel dots on some of the die cut sprigs were the finishing touch. Voila!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoyed this bright cheerful Mother’s Day card idea – you could easily adapt this design using any alphas and foliage dies you have on hand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for stopping by – have a great Mother’s Day!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

xo,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
