Mother's Day

With Mother's Day coming up next month, I thought it might be time to share a Mother's Day Card.

• The focal for this one is a 3-D Papier Tole foil die cut from Hot Off the Press and is called "Enchanted Garden." The various pieces are attached using foam tape to add dimension.
• The background is a glittery brown that coordinates well with the frame. It is from the "Indian Summer Fall Glitter Matstack" from DCWV.  
• Wanting to bring out more of the purple, I matted the frame of the Papier Tole on purple paper and used the same purple as a strip across the bottom of the card. (I should probably also confess that I stole a couple of flowers from another design to cover the bee in this one. It was on the left-hand side.  I just didn't like the connotation of a bee sting as a part of my greeting!)
• The "Happy Mother's Day" is an outline sticker, but neither silver nor gold went properly with the outline of the frame, so I took a little alcohol ink (gold mixative) and ran it lightly over the top of a silver sticker to get the color the way I wanted it.
• I used a stencil I got from Dollar Tree for the "I Love You" and colored it in with a glitter pen.
• The final touch is a lovely silver and gold ribbon that I had on hand.
