Hi Everyone, I can't believe how long it's been since I last blogged. Life just seems to be going in a different direction these days. Don't get me wrong, I have made cards for friends and family, I just haven't blogged about it. Anyways I'm super excited to be asked by Maria from Paper Garden.ca to make a card for my Mom in their Mother's Day Challenge that she is hosting. They also sent me a sample of their fabulous cardstock that is so fabulous plus they have matching envelopes. Please check out their gorgeous cardstock here: https://www.paper-garden.ca

Here the basics of my card. I started off using 6"x 12" using Stardream Bronze metallic cardstock which you find here https://www.paper-garden.ca/products/stardream-bronze-8-1-2-x-11-text-weight-metallic-paper.html at Paper-Garden. I added 3 layers of paper using Prima Marketing "Love Clippings Collection" I then cut out next layer using Marianne Design Die LR 0445 using a light metallic paper. Layering on top of that using Pink Gloss Glitter Paper using a middle circle that comes the die. I stamped out the flowers using Simon Says Limited Edition Stamp Card Kit Mother's Day called 'Mom's Clematis using VersaFine Clair Nocturne. I then coloured them using Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals. I added Nuvo Crystal drops Bright Gold for centers. Then I added Gold hearts for the center. I added a puff gold heart along with some gold leaves plus some tags that I cut out from Prima Marketing paper. Then matted them on Rose Gold mirror cardstock and 1 was cut out of Shimmer Sand Cardstock. I also cut out Mom using the same paper and the die that came with Stamp kit. I embossed it with a heart embossing folder by Sizzix. I then stamped a saying from Simon Says stamp set called 'Mother's Day Zingers using Versamark ink and embossed using Ranger's Rose Gold EP.
This is what I did for the inside, I layered down 2 pieces of paper from the Prima Marketing 'Love Clippings Collection. I used a piece of paper from "Bliss Collection" that was in the Simon Says Limited Edition Stamp Card Kit Mother's Day. I then cut out another piece of paper using the same die that I used on the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair ink and used the stamps from the Mom's Clematis.
