Mother’s Day Inspiration Week- Day 6

Hello, Gemma here. My card today features the beautiful new Mom stamp set. In the U.K., where I live, we generally use the name Mum. It’s really easy to turn Mom into Mum, by combining this set with the previously released Floral Hearts stamp set.

I began by stamping the large MOM image, from the Mom stamp set, and colouring the two ‘M’ letters with copic markers.  I kept the colouring simple and didn’t try to blend on the small images. I then die cut the letters with the coordinating die.

Next, I stamped the Floral Heart image with clear embossing ink. I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder and used the coordinating die to cut it out.

For the letters and floral heart, I added two die cut layers behind them. This is my favourite way to add dimension. I made sure to remove part of the layers where I planned to overlap the images, though.

I stamped a sentiment from the Large Floral Hearts stamp set on a strip of white card, before adhering my images above.

On my white card base, I added some interest with the Pretty Petals stencil and Worn Lipstick distress Oxide ink. I then adhered the panel on top.

I adhered some thin gold card strips along the edges of the panel, to echo the gold embossing of the Floral Heart, them some Pearl White jewels to finish.

I hope you were inspired by my project and if you also use “MUM” instead of mom, I hope I gave you an idea of how you can stretch your stamp sets!
