I was making this card for Mother's Day and when I got the layout figured out I realized there wasn't any room to add "Happy Mother's Day." I guess this card would fall under the category of "various occasions." It would work for a Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You, Get Well and even Mother's Day without it actually saying. The sentiment could be added on the inside.
This was a fun card to make too. I used punches for the smaller squares so making those were a quick thing to do!! Gotta LOVE that!!!! I used the Stampin' Up! "Blooming with LOVE" set to make this card. I colored the images in using markers and a blender pen. I sponged the edges and added the layers. I was even able to use a piece of retired decorative paper. And I just LOVE it when I can use some of that paper I had been hoarding! Notice I used the word "had" in that sentence?? I am actually using those papers now!!! And without fear!!! LOL I also added a few clear dew drops to the card. It just needed a little something more and those fit the bill. I do have problems eying them on the sides when I have 3 in a row. Once I add a little bit of Crystal Effects to affix them I can never get them straight. But once I realize they are stuck and I can't do a thing about it I remember that after all, it IS a handmade card!!! And being reminded of that helps me accept the mistakes on it better!!! LOL
I do need a few more Mother's Day cards so stay tuned if you haven't found one you like yet!!! There will be a few more plus some other fun projects coming up!!!
Have a wonderful day and thank you for visiting,

Very pretty! Love the colors and the diamond squares. Like that it has the option of being ready for different occasions.
ReplyDeleteLove this card. I really would be perfect for almost any occasion - beautiful and versatile - who could ask for more. ~chris
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely...I really like the soft colors and the tulips :)
ReplyDeleteI just got this set, so thanks for the inspiration. Whenever I get stuck as to where to put my sentiment, I stamp it on vellum and use a ribbon slide or a couple of brads to attach it; that might work for you on this card......I visit your blog every day and enjoy it tremendously; keep 'em comin'!
ReplyDeleteI love your card, Wanda. I have a similiar stamp and I just made a few cards with it last week. Thanks for your idea.
