Tonight I want to show you the card i made for my dad to give to my mum - its her birthday tomorrow and I'm looking forward to going for lunch with her and my dad. She's such a sweetheart! Love you mum!
I created the background using distress inks and stamps from chocolate baroque. They include some stamps form the sunny sunflowers set and some from the nature fragments set.
The topper is made using another chocolate baroque stamp set - the sunny sunflowers - I coloured the flower with distress pens then masked and stamped the leaves. The sentiment is from a LOTV stamp stamped onto card coloured with ripe persimmon.
here's a closer look.
I added a heart from TH - thanks Mo! Love these hearts!
I hope you have a lovely evening and manage to have a good day tomorrow too!
Hugs

ReplyDeleteA lovely bright and sunny card Rachel, I am sure you Mum will really appreciate it. And can you push some of that sunshine this way, I'm beginning to think we will never see it again down here in East Anglia.

Such a beautiful card Rachel and a beautiful sentiment added too, I'm sure that your Mum love's it. Glad to say that the sun is gorgeous here today, but it's been rather overcast the last few days. How lucky you are to live so close to the Lake District and be able to go for your swim there. Enjoy your lunch with your Mum and Dad today.

ReplyDeleteI love everything about this one Rachel! The colours are just so gorgeous, no doubt that your mum loved it. Funnily enough I have been doing DT creations and have used orange too - but not on show until next week.
