For mom


Happy Mother's Day everyone!

     I'm sharing the card I created for my mom today.  I used a couple of Simon Says Stamp sets to create the flowers.  They were stamped with Versamark onto vellum and embossed with white embossing powder.  Then I turned them over and colored them with Copics.  They were fussy cut and added to the card base.  It's a fun technique for a stained glass look.


     I found a couple of challenges I'd like to enter my card into.

Just Us Girls--embossing

     Hope your Mother's Day is blessed with all things good.

Tracy, what a beautiful card! I love the embossed flowers with the coloring on the reverse side...reminds me of stained glass that I used to do. Beautiful DP and wonderful layout and love that border die (that I just got myself). Stunning card, sweet friend, and I know your mom must have loved it! Hugs!
