Mother's Day, a new chance to make cards

Any excuse will do to inspire me to make cards and what better excuse than Mother's Day. This is the day to make pretty cards so I have decided, yet agin to give into my love of all things pretty and pink.

This card sticks pretty much to that principle and with the exception of a bit of white it really is pink through and through.



I made this card on a pink tall card.

The Mother's Day message was printed on the computer and I used pink ink. Well why not? Stick it to the card as shown.

I tied a knot in a piece of pink polka dot ribbon and wrapped it around a strip of pink pearlescent card. I stuck it down with double sided tape. I used the double sided to stick the pink card to the printed card.

Make a flower motif out of one pink and one white flower. Use a pen or pencil to curl the petals so that they look more 3D. Thread a piece of 3mm ribbon through a pink button and tie. Stick the button to the centre of the flower. Stick the flower to the card.

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for the comment. I used a die cut from Accucut. I will put them on my web site when I have time to cut more. The flower was two sets of exactly the same flowers, but moved slightly when put together.
