So, as leader of Team A!
I'd like to present to you my card!
I'd like to present to you my card!
The minute I saw this image, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!
The image I have used is Mother's Day Bouquet.
The sentiment comes with the image if I'm not mistaken!
This little card is for my Mother In Law, the lovely Joyce,
from Hubby & I!
I'm not allowed to call her Mum but I can get away with it for Mother's Day.
She loves to potter in the garden & is very practical.
She isn't a frilly person at all.
I'm hoping she'll love this card as much as I loved making it for her!!!
(I've not even started on my own Mum's Yet!)
I used a 5x5" base card in white linen card stock.
I added a matt of Green card stock then an embossed DP which I got
in my local craft shop.
It's called Crafty Jacques & is in Leith Mills
just over the road from work!
It's small & doesn't carry an awful lot of stock but I'm hoping
it will expand as time goes on!
I love popping over at lunchtime & picking up some bits & pieces!
I also made a couple of little photo corners.
The image was coloured with Promarkers & I added a matt of the green card.
The print I have used is book print. It's a page from an old book.
I scrunched it up, rubbed it with some distress ink then coated it
a couple of times with PVA glue to give it a bit of a sheen.
This was then adhered to a square frame which I attached over
the image at an angle. I used pinflair glue to give some dimension.
The buttons & ribbon were from my stash!
The sentiment was cut with a nestie & then coloured with
distress ink whilst still in the dies
I decorated the inside of the card to match.
I hope you like my little card!
Now make sure you pop on over to the challenge blog & check out all the
new DT members wonderful samples!
