For Mums

Just a couple of simple cards for Mother's Day. Same format but one modern and the other a little more traditional.

50 Golden Years

Here's a triple easel card I created last year for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary along with a matching box. Took a while to work out the sizing to make the max use of A4 but not too complicated after that. The fancy border is a Martha Stewart punch, I cut the 50 on an Ecraft and also used Spellbinders after printing the photos onto card. The flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Felt Flowers

Here are a couple of cards with felt flowers as the focal point. They were cut with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Florals die. The flower centres are made with Papermania DIY brads and the backgrounds from Spellbinder dies and various embossing folders.

Just Juicy

These grosgrain ribbons from Fantastic Ribbons are stunning. They are 10mm and I've used them with Marianne Design Creatables LR0109 die cut ribbon flower 2. The background is from the embossing folder, Dots & Swirls, that comes with the Sissix Texture Boutique. Unfortunately you can't get it separately, I've checked with Sissix.

Still not sure whether to put a gem in the middle of the flowers or not...

Mono Moments

A couple of cards I created using the Marianne Design Creatables Ribbon Flower 3 die - LR0110. I made use of the little waste "dots" from the flowers and leaves to add to the decoration. Fiddly but fun and rather effective, if I say so myself!
The background on the left was from a Sissix embossing folder where it has the swirls, dots and a blank centre panel all in one.
