One more...

I have one more Mother's Day card to share with you.  As I mentioned before, I was asked to make some brightly colored cards for a display for Mother's Day.  I think this one is my favorite!

This is a really quick and simple card to make.  For the base, I welded a rectangle from George & Basic Shapes with a border from Elegant Edges to give it a scalloped edge.  If you don't have a Gypsy or Design Studio, you could easily cut them separately, as the sentiment will cover the seam.  I inked the edges of everything and adhered it to a kraft base.

The flower is from Flower Shoppe.  Up until now, all I've made are some flat flowers or rolled flowers. I decided to be brave and make what I guess you'd call a combo flower.  (OK, I know I made that up, but I have no idea what to call it!)  I used several cuts from Flower Shoppe together to make it and I think it's just beautiful.  I {heart} this flower.  Here's what I cut to make it...

I know this is not a great picture, but it's the only overlay picture I could find.  It's certainly easier than trying to describe which flowers I cut!

I wanted the sentiment to be a soft color, so I stamped it using the distress ink I used on the edges.  I added the flower with a foam dot.
