My dogwood trees are just starting to bloom, as well as my azealeas.  My neighborhood is all a bloom.  I also heard that it was recently Mother’s Day in the UK and that is where the inspiration came from for my card.  I heat embossed the image, Becca with Tulips, and colored her with markers and a Dove Blender.  I adore her smiling face.  Reminds me of my little blond girls bringing me flowers.  I added lots of distressed layers and even some faux stitching.  The frame and flourish with butterflies are actually felt die cuts that I picked up at a local discount store.  There are so many great felt and chipboard dies available and you can make them look so spectacular by using Sparkle N Sprinkle’s Brushable Glue and adding some of their gorgeous glitters.  I used Green Nugget, Fascination, and Cyclamen.

 


The sentiment is Picked For You, also heat embossed, and added to look like a tag, surrounded by flourishes and a bow.  I used seam binding ribbon for the bow that I spritzed and smooshed into some diluted ink to give it a little variation.  Go here for detailed instructions on this card.




 

The flowers on my card are homemade.  The large pink flower and the two blue flowers are made using Peony 2 and Blossom 2 images, cut out with Spellbinders’ Blossoms 3 die.  The two yellow flowers are die cut from baby wipes.  Come back to the Sparkle NSprinkle blog on Sunday, March 25 to see how to make these flowers. 

Ok, only two more designers to visit and you will have made it!!  Head over to Jill Jacobsen’s  lovely blog for some awesome creativity.  Don’t forget to leave a comment before you leave!

Good luck and come back soon.
