The title of this post really should be "Shameless Casing"! First of all, my Mother's Day card came about as a result of a wonderful card sketch by Lynn Mercurio found at this link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=346067It was an SCS sketch challenge this week and was just what I needed to get me jumpstarted! For my card, I used Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky and Shimmer White cardstock with the Spring Silhouettes DSP. (which is gorgeous btw, can't believe I hadn't used it until now!) The background was stamped with Baroque background in Soft Sky. The 1/2 circle layers were cut with my Coluzzle (love it!) and layered underneath that luscious Chocolate Satin ribbon with Soft Sky on top. I then stamped the flower from Bloomin' Beautiful on the Shimmer White cs, layered it on Chocolate chip and attached one of those fabulous brads from the Silver Hodgepodge Hardware. The flower was colored in with reinkers and a blender pen. I sure hope my Mom's like it, cuz I really am happy with the end result!
Next up is my SHAMELESS CASING of this gorgeous purse scrapbook created by the great JanTink (may she live forever) Her original design is found here at this link: http://stampspaperscissors.typepad.com/stamps_paper_scissors/2008/03/ive-been-neglec.html
I actually tweaked her original because I didn't own the stamp set she used and did a stamp camp with it this month - thanks Jan!
But then I got to thinking how fun it would be to do this with different papers and VOILA - here you go! I really LOVE the Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip and Soft Sky together. I used Purely Pomegranate to color in the flower.
Now I wonder which MOM gets this beauty - hmmm, maybe I'll gift myself with it! :)
Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mom's out there! See you on Monday.....
