This morning the Uniko Studio DT is revisiting one of Bev's stamps sets - Flower Power #4 which is a lovely set containing pretty floral elements and spring/Easter sentiments. Here's my card:
Stamps: Uniko Studio - Flower Power #4
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Hello Honey, Certainly Celery
Dies: Waltzingmouse - Mother
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU DP - Certainly Celery; SU Card - Certainly Celery; Vellum; Martha Stewart Border Punch
I suddenly realised that it's Mother's Day in the UK this weekend and I needed a couple of cards to send home. I've used the colours from this week's Less is More - LIM#214 (although I'm not submitting this card as it's not CAS), and I've used the layout from Clean & Simple Stamping - FTL#02 (where they're revisiting all the early sketches).
I created lots of little flowers on the card, stamping the outline first in Hello Honey, then the solid flower in Daffodil Delight and added the little edges in So Saffron. These stamps are really easy to line up. I used the larger leaf, that's what I'm calling it, and stamped in green . I covered the card with a sheet of vellum giving a lovely soft front. I punched a border in some green design paper and added that to the edge of the card and finished the front with a wonderfully ornate die cut word "Mother" and a simple little flower. On the inside I cut a mat layer of green design paper and on the white panel added some flowers. Excuse the marks on the white panel, I erased the greeting to show the panel.
The rest of the Design Team have made such pretty cards with Flower Power #4 - take a sneak peak here and this is the order of our hop:
Deborah - that's me!
