Hi!
Just a really quick second post of today as I really wanted to get a card made with this week's Freshly Made Sketch which ends tonight.
I thought I'd combine it with this week's Paper Players challenge which is a clean and simple springtime theme.
My mother in law had asked me to make a Mother's Day card for her (British Mother's Day is the end of the month!) so I thought I'd combine a sweet sketch and pretty springtime theme for this one.
Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink: Sahara Sand
Cardstock: Whisper White, Sahara Sand
DSP: Sweet Sorbet (SAB)
I love that by keeping the background really neutral the ice-cream coloured flowers really pop off the page. I took a bit of time and fussy cut all these flower out - I think they're just beautiful and look so lovely all layered up!
Some pearls in the flower centres and scattered about just adds that special little touch. I know its quite a lot of pearls but hey, what Mom doesn't deserve that luxury?!
Happy Stampin',
Amanda, this is so pretty! Love the soft colors and those lovely flowers. Glad you joined us this week at FMS!
ReplyDeleteAmanda this card is just so beautiful! I love the sweet blooms you've used and by flipping the sketch, it given it a whole new look - love it! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
ReplyDeleteThank you! x
DeleteAmanda, your creation is clean and simple and quite beautiful! I love that you were able to cut the flowers from the patterned paper, and the grouping of them is just gorgeous! Thanks for playing along with us this week at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandy! x
DeleteLovely! Such beautiful soft colors and flowers...and the sweet scattered embellishments, like they are blowing in a spring breeze! PS....we need a spring breeze here in NY about now!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Wishing you spring breezes and warmer weather!x
DeleteBeautiful card! Before viewing the image larger, I thought the grey and white piece was fishnet type fabric which would have been cool too! Great work! and congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you! yes I can see how that would look like fish net. x
DeleteJust beautiful Amanda, and congratulations on being chosen, Queen of Clean!
ReplyDeleteThanks!x
DeleteAmanda, I LOVE your card!!! Would it be alright if I CASE it for about a dozen thank you cards for our church's Card Ministry? It will then be featured on my blog, if that's alright with you?
ReplyDeleteAw thank you! Of course, that'd be more than fine, I'd be honoured :) Please do send me a link to your CASEd version on your blog, I'd love to see it! x
DeleteJust gorgeous....those pastel flowers really stand out against the neutral background! Thanks for playing with the Paper Players this week!
