I started with a background of foiled hearts from Pinkfresh Studios (Heart Grid) using iridescent silver foil, and then got to work on the stenciling and stamping of the next layer.
I did all my stenciling, and then while stamping the details, I made a big oops...vellum to the rescue!! The little group of flowers under the "For You" sentiment has a stamp to put dots in the centers of the flowers, and there's quite a bit of open space between all the dots on the stamp...yep, I got ink on the open area of the stamp and of course it all transferred to the card when I pressed my stamp down...grrrrrr!
It worked out fine to silver heat emboss my sentiment on the vellum though, and then wrap it over the oops! After using foam tape under the die cut flower layer, I finished by adding some clear gems (PFS) and very thin strips of pink cardstock at the top and bottom of my card.
The Color Hues Challenge is looking for PINK & GREEN this time around, so this card will fit in perfectly for the challenge. The Flower Challenge is looking for HEARTS along with your flowers this month, so I think I've got that covered with my foiled background too! Always love it when I can combine TWO challenges!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Gorgeous Mother's Day card Marcia. So many beautiful elements that combine into one STUNNING design. Love those sweet foil hearts in the background. And the flowers are so pretty in pink! Great save with the vellum sentiment ... it looks perfect with your design. xx

ReplyDeleteYou've added hearts in all the right places, Marcia! Just look at those little sweeties peeking out from behind these glorious flowers! Or are those the oopsy daisies we've been hearing about for years? LOve them!
