This beautiful card is a step-by-step tutorial in the magazine. Of course, I immediately knew I had to try it out.
Thank goodness for my cricut!! The butterflies, flourishes, branches and banner were cut with images from Art Philosophy & Artiste cartridges. (exclusive to CTMH). The colours I used are breeze (retired), buttercup, sweet leaf, cocoa and bamboo. Flowers, buttons, twine, and chipboard banner are also available from CTMH.
The card is not difficult, but it does take a little time and patience. I actually made two, one for my mother and the other for my mother-in-law, two very special ladies who each raised 6 kids, ran a household, and put up with a lot of shenanigans from their broods.
I hope they enjoy their flowers as much as I enjoyed creating for them.

WOW, what a beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired to make this now! I love the blue and white - I have a lot of cashmere CS to use up and thought it was too blah to use for the base but now I see if I can make the flowers prettier it could work with another neutral colour. I bought the magazine just for those instructions :) You did a great job - how did you put "happy mothers day" on the banner? I don't have a nothers day stamp and am trying to figure out what else to use...
ReplyDeleteLaurie - It was an old stamp set I think called Say it in Style & I curved the stamp set to fit on the banner.
DeleteI actually made one of these as my card submission for Extravaganza this year. It's on my blog if you want to take a look. I LOVE your version and have pinned it to my Cards That Inspire Me board! Awesome work!!
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous!
