Mothers Day Cards by Kim C.

Welcome everyone! This week I have decided to make some cards for Mother's Day. I wanted to keep them simple but elegant.

I used some white textured cardstock for the bases of these cards. I used paper from my stash.

The first card I used one of the intricate cardstock doilies, along with a medium garden fairy. I inked the edges of the doily with Victorian Velvet distress ink to make it stand out on the paper. I then sprayed the fairy with my homemade glimmer mist and then used clear embossing powder to give it a nice shine. I then added some lace and pearl trim from my stash. I also added a rose and some leaves and I then made a banner with the saying "Happy Mothers Day", which I also inked the edges of it.

My second card I used the Damask Singles, the medium size one for this. I also used some of the negative pieces of the damask at the bottom. I inked all the pieces with Victorian Velvet ink and then I added crackle accents to all the pieces. I then added flowers and pearl sprays. I also added pearls to all the corners and then to the banner on the front.
