A Card a Day Blog Challenge #3

After checking out the Savvy Projects blog and seeing Teresa's Mother's Day card, I was inspired to use that same stamp set to make one for my MIL. I got out my paper scraps(seems like an inappropriate term for these treasures!) and found pieces and a tag from Genevieve and More Mimi solid. The floral background and solid brown(cut with nestabilities) is from a DCWV mat stack. I used Burnt Umber ink and my watercolor crayons to color. I hand wrote the name "Mum" (using a brown Slick Writer)as that is what we call her. I love the effect the little pearls add in the place where brads would normally go.And of course I stamped Happy Mother's Day on the inside with the sentiment from Trendy Greetings(T2144).

A Card a Day Blog Challenge

After checking out the card Debra posted for the "Card a Day in the Month of May" on the savvy Projects Blog, I came up with this sympathy card. I started by trying to turn the layout of the card, and as I tried putting the pieces together, this is what "spoke" to me. I used Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits to color. The stamp, Gerbera Daisy, is a retired stamp but a favorite of mine. I hand wrote the sentiment. The background papers came out of my stash of saved pieces of cardstock. I used pop dots to adhere the daisy on to the card.
