Wishing all the mothers a very happy day, in spite of the pandemic. This card's for all of you.
I stamped PTI Friendship Jar Flowers images in Simply Chartreuse, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Hibiscus Burst & Berry Sorbet. Thought about adding splatters, but instead just added some details with a white gel pen. I die cut the panel with PTI Vertical Splits smaller die & used the larger one with a piece of Simply Chartreuse cardstock. I just have a couple sheets from a sampler pack, so I cut out the middle of the die cut & filled it in with cheap white cardstock. Always proud of myself when I remember to do that! I'm on a shimmer kick right now, so before attaching the stamped panel I spritzed with shimmer spray.
Finished off with a sheer white bow & mounted the panel to a card front with the sentiment from PTI Simple Stems. I'm entering

Time Out thanks to Sandie saying Flower Arranging is an art!
I keep missing the HA Stay Crafty challenges, but I was determined to make a card for
Challenge #7 Essential Kindness. This time we're to make a card for an essential worker. I've been meaning to send one to our wonderful PCP. She's continuing to see patients, like so many doctors. Even with proper PPE, the more people you're around, the greater the risk.
I love pastels & Brilliance Pearlescent inks are some of my favorite ink pads. I used purple tape to mask sections of a panel & used direct to paper with Lavender, Coral, Jade & Sky Blue. Then I stamped the panel with HA Magical Background in Delicata Silvery Shimmer.
The sentiment from HA Made with Love was stamped in silver ink & embossed with a satin powder, rather than silver. That made a softer silver look that went with the stamped panel. I added a couple layers of cardstock for just a bit of dimension before adding the panel. I had gray/white twine on my table which finished it off.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment,
