Mother’s Day Cards + Video

Hey friends! This is Mindy and I’m here today to share with you inspiration using the Leafy Spring Wreath two different ways.

I have a video sharing this process that you can view down below or HERE on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel.

I’ll start by stamping the wreath from the Leafy Spring Wreath stamp set and images from the Mom stamp set two times in an alcohol friendly ink. One of the wreaths I’m going to color with shades of green from the Triblend Markers and the other wreath I’m only going to add a light gray to one edge of each leaf.

I’m also going to color in all the flowers I stamped out using some light pinks from my Triblend Markers. I’ll use the coordinating dies from both the Leafy Spring Wreath & Mom Stamp Set to cut out all the images so I can pop them up with foam squares later on.

For the first card, I created a striped background using various colors of cardstock from my scraps. I’ll trim this panel down to add to an A2 size card front and I’m going to use the wreath that has the light gray coloring on it. I like keeping the color soft and light on this one when adding to a colorful background. This way I don’t feel like the card is too busy.

For the second card, I’m lightly ink blending on Lost Shadow Distress Ink using the Pretty Petals Stencil. I start in the center of the card and have the stencil fade out as it gets towards the edges.

I will add my green wreath over the top with foam squares and decorate with the flowers.

Both cards are using the Mom Word & Shadow die. One is cut from white glitter cardstock and the other from Matte Gold cardstock and placed over the center of the wreaths.

The smaller sentiment also comes from the Mom Stamp set in which one is stamped in Black ink onto White cardstock and the other heat embossed in Gold to match the Matte Gold cardstock.

Such a fun look for both of these cards! Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!
