49th Street Design: Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

I have a couple cards to share with you. The first one is the one I made for my eldest daughter. I absolutely love the way it turned out. I decided to add this to the Simon Says Stamp weekly Monday challenge also. This week was Ombre. Who doesn't love ombre!?

For the first one I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the word "Daughter".
On the background I stamped a really fine detail design. It has some wispy lines with butterflies. It is an old stamp but any fine detail, not too busy stamp will work. I then embossed it with clear powder. I then used abandoned coral Distress Oxide and blend it on the background working from the bottom and fading out to the top.
The stamp set is Friendly Florals from Neat & Tangled. I love all the images in this one. To finish it off I added some sparkle with Nuvo aqua Shimmer Pen. Gotta have that sparkle. Popped up the panel with some 3M foam take, added some rhinestones and gold enamel dots and it was done.

The other card for today is the one I made for my mom. This one was a little more work. I saw one that I believe was from the MFT blog. It was a tri-fold that fit together around each other. I figured what better than making a wreath that did that. It has to be done just right to close it though so a bit of a hassle but so worth it haha.

This stamp set is same as the previous card. I just can't get enough of it. I water colored this one though. I use my Canson watercolor paper and my Prima watercolors. I love the way it turned out. Used a little bit of shimmer pen and some glossy accents on the flowers and added a couple rhinestones to finish it off.
