Mother's Day Blooms


 I made another Mother's day card using my favorite color combo of purple and green. I found this die-cut frame sent to me by a thoughtful blogging friend some time ago and decided it was time to use it. I stamped and embossed the Hero Arts flower 3 times with silver embossing powder and fussy cut each of the 3 layers; popping them up on foam bits. The green leaves were also embossed in silver and fussy cut. The sentiment was done with a (r) SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp and more silver embossing powder, then punched with a (r) SU! word window punch. For the final touch, I added some crystal beads to the flower center and along one side of the frame.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

The Color Hues Challenge #39 - purple and green



the Allsorts Challenge #673 - something beginning with "B"
(blooms, beads)

I noticed things have changed here on blogger with a recent update, so apparently I can no longer copy & paste graphics for challenges. I guess I will have to stop using them in my posts. I hate when things change in this regard as it makes it difficult for me to learn all the new ways of doing things.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day ahead!

Such a beautiful card Carol, I love the embossed flower and leaves, lovely colour card also. I noticed graphics not loading properly too. I wonder why that is a problem to Blogger?

Super card Carol, lovely design.
I’ve recently had a problem only being able to leave anonymous comments, which is not much use. Finally solved the problem today. I wish Blogger would just leave things alone. xx

Very pretty and the purple is subtle but still works with the green nicely. I love the framing and all the dimension from the Hero Arts flower x

Wow! Your Mother day card is so elegant and sweet!! Amazing colours combo and absolutely love the big layered flower with its silver embossing and the light green leaves! The crystal beads are fabulous details! The simple look of the pierced scallop panel is the perfect background for it!
Great design, my friend!
Sending as always my best wishes for peace, love and health!
Big hugs!
