Mother’s Day Inspiration Week- Day 4

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a mini slimline Mother’s Day card. A lot of us are trying the new mini slimline size cards… and so far, I am loving this smaller version of the slimline card. The size of my card is 3.25″ x 6.25″. To make the card, I’ve cut a 110lb Neenah cardstock in white to 6.25″ x 6.5″ scored at the 3.25″ mark. Ok, let’s begin!

To start, I’ve cut a panel in white cardstock to 3×6 inches. I then ink blended with Milled Lavender and Antique Linen distress oxide inks. I sprayed some water to create the oxidized effect and I also splattered black and gold acrylic paints for added interest. Next, I added stitched details to the top of the panel using the straight stitched die from the Stitched Borders 2 dies. I then added scallop stitched details to the bottom of the panel using the scallop border die from the Stitched Borders I dies. 

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the adorable hedgehogs from the Hedgehog Friends stamp set. I used Copic Sketch markers in E77/74/71/70/11/00/000. I also stamped, colored, and cut the MOM stamp from the Mom stamp set. I colored the M’s in Copic Sketch B41, R81/32/30, Y18/11, YG23/21, V15/12. 

I then cut a strip of black cardstock using the Simple Strips Dies and heat white embossed the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment from the Mom stamp set.

I then adhered the stamped images with foam tape for dimension and the sentiment strip with liquid glue. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto the card base. 

Easy peasy! I hope you liked today’s card share! I love adding adorable critters to my Pretty Pink Posh cards, especially using them as a substitute for the vowels in the word stamps. By the way, I heard through the grapevine that there will be a Dad stamp set coming soon. Also, the Elephant Friends stamp set and Monkey Friends stamp set have great images that can be used if you’d like to recreate my card. 

Have a great day, everyone!
