Happy Mother's Day...

I bought the Bloom & Grow kit because I thought it would make lovely Mother's Day cards and I was right. This is the card I made for my mom.

I die-cut the bouquet in white cardstock and used the stencils to make the flowers and stems. For the flowers I used Lemon Tart/Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet/Pure Poppy and Hawaiian Shores/Tropical Teal inks. The stems are stamped in Green Parakeet and New Leaf inks. I die-cut additional flowers and leaves, inked them up and placed them on foam tape for dimension.

The flower pot is die-cut in Hawaiian Shores cardstock and inked around the edges with the coordinating ink. I added a stripe of Tropical Teal cardstock around the top and Berry Sorbet cardstock just below it. The pot sentiment is stamped in Smokey Shadow ink.

The stitched banner is die-cut 3 times, stacked and stamped with Happy Mother's Day. On a white cardstock card base, I added a strip of Berry Sorbet bitty dots and placed the bouquet in the middle of the panel. A few enamel dots and white crochet thread completed the card.
