Mother’s Day Inspiration Week- Day 7
Hello Friends! Elaine here today to share a Mother’s Day card and to help inspire you for your own creations.
To start my card, I stamped many of the smaller stamps in the Mom stamp set directly on to marker friendly cardstock. The panel measured 5” x 3.75”. I used a small acrylic block and started with the larger images first and filled in any gaps with the smaller images. I find using an acrylic block for multiple stamping quicker and easier than using a stamp positioner for designs like this.
I coloured the images with copic markers in the following colours:
Butterflies: V17, V15, V12, V01
Pink Flowers 1: RV14, RV13, RV11, RV10, RV00
Pink Flowers 2: RV34, RV52
Blue Flowers 1: BV13, BV08, BV02, BV01, BV00
Blue Flowers 2: BV13, BV08, BV02
Yellow: Y15, Y13, Y11
Leaves/Foliage: YG67, YG63, YG61
Setting the card panel aside once colored, I created the focal sentiment using the new Mom script die and a sentiment from the Mom stamp set. I cut the Mom script die 3 times from heavyweight white card stock. Before adhering the layers together, I took one of the die cuts and blended on some Distress Ink in Shaded Lilac at the top and Worn Lipstick at the bottom, blending until they met in the middle to create a soft gradient from purple to pink. I adhered all three layers together with liquid adhesive. Taking some black cardstock, I white heat embossed the strip sentiment from the Mom stamp set and trimmed using a guillotine trimmer. To help make both sentiments pop on the card I secured the Mom die cut and strip sentiment to a piece of vellum and carefully secured to the card front.
Taking a piece of white cardstock measuring 5.5” x 4.25” I blended on some more Shaded Lilac Distress Ink around the edges and placed the stamped flower panel on top with liquid adhesive. The whole panel was adhered to a top folding A2 card base.
To add some sparkle, small jewels in the shade Lemon Drop were added to some of the flower centres.
That completes my card for today. I hope you enjoyed this project and it gives you some inspiration for using smaller stamps! Happy crafting!

Wonderful card. Love the colors and the awesome stamps. The mom die sentiment stamp and sentiment is perfect.
These little flowers are so sweet. I just love them
I love all these cards. They are all so beautiful. I especially thought the “Dad” card so cute. Although, I can’t imagine dad’s would think it would be cute but they are. Thank you for sharing with us today.
Some lovely products. Everything’s coming up flowers. It goes with what is happening now that everyone is tired of winter and wants to see some flowers and also COVID. The inspiration for these products was lovely. Thanks for a great release.
