Be Inspired #29 Mother's Day Card


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY card
Coordinating Envelope

I needed to make some Mom's Day cards, so this challenge was easy!
Check out the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog for more details on the challenges.

If you are looking for Graduation cards...stay tuned tomorrow for my invitation collection I created this week.

Materials:
Paper: Paper Cut (kraft)
WorldWin (teal and orange)
My Minds Eye: Bloom & Grow "Lots of Dots"
Chipboard: Maya Road "Birds of a Feather"
CUTTLEBUG : "Olivia" alphabet set and "Border Frills"
NESTABILITIES: Standard Circle Large and Classic Scallop Circle Large
INK: Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Punch: Family Treasures
Bling: Queen & Co
Glossy Accents
Craft Mat
Ribbon: Bo-Bunny
Cut-N-Dry Foam
Pop-Dots

I cut this card out with the PAZZLES Creative Cutter.  SWEET!  I then embossed the edge of the card and inked it with my FOAM Squares.  The inking on the chipboard bird and branch is achieved by rubbing the chipboard across the ink pad....easy!  After it dried a little, I applied the GLOSSY ACCENTS to the bird to make the colors pop.   The rest is a matter of layering the elements to the card front.

The arrival of the MAYA ROAD order was perfect!  These birds and branches are a great addition to a card or page.  So easy to decorate too.  All the goodies in the box that arrived yesterday were cool!  Love chipboard, stop by the store for your fix!

That glossy accents stuff looks so cool! I'd probably make a super big mess with it, but you made it look easy! Love the colors in the card too. So sad I have to start my new job tomorrow and get back to the real world...I enjoyed creating this week!
