Hello

Shopping Our Stash challenge #469 which encourages us to make cards for special people in our lives. Since May is around the corner, I decided to make two cards for two special ladies in my life: a Mother's Day card for one of my Aunts (whose child and husband have passed), and a birthday card for my fabulous Mother-In-Law.

Card #1
Card #2
This card was made in a similar matter with a few exceptions. While the the process was the same to ink blend the tulip, I did add a tulip bud onto the card as well. The background panel was created with a die cut piece of American Crafts Patchwork Floral 12 x 12 paper that was die cut with the second-largest stitched rectangular die from the Gina K Design's Master Layout 2 die set and a matte layer created out of a piece of blueish/teal colored cardstock in my stash die cut with the largest die from the Gina K die set.
The sentiment was created by stamping and die cutting them with SCT Delivered Stamps' Beautiful You (made for their March Crop and Create cardmaking event). The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark Frost Dazzle ink and heat embossed with Ranger's Gold embossing powder. I then cut it out with my paper trimmer and ink blending around the edges of the sentiment strip with more of the Dried Marigold Distress Oxide and then blending again with some residual ink on a pink ink blending foam. Meanwhile I die cut the you sentiment from the you die cut that comes with the Beautiful You set three times--twice with some scrap paper, and once with a piece of leftover pink ink and gold heat embossed paper. All three layers were glued together for dimension and set aside to dry.
As with the first card, the sub-sentiment was attached with foam tape,
while the sentiment and the flowers were glued to the patterned paper
panel. I again splattered some spray onto the card panel and finally the
whole card panel was attached to an A2-sized card base with more of the
foam tape.
