This week's Stamp Simply is all about the little things in life and being there for your MOM!! You were to design a creation that includes a small gift of some sort! The Flourishes Release Challenge is a "his & hers" challenge. Use the same layout and create a masculine AND a feminine card!
So.... I combined this challenge! I made a small gift just for mom... and used the same layout to make one for the dad in my life -- my hubby!
Starting with the feminine flair, I used Flourishes Sweet Pea set for my focal image - stamped it and watercolored it up on watercolor paper. The seeds were put into a pink vellum sleeve and stitched around the edges with some gold thread. Add a button and some gold cording and... you are almost done!
I stamped the saying in aqua dye ink. I thought this sentiment was perfect for this creation! 
Want to see the other motherly creations cooked up my our Stamp Simply team? Check out Sharon's place for all the official details, then be sure to stop by and say hi to Barbara - our Guest Designer for May, Janine, Jennifer, AJ, Becky, Tammy, and our newest team member Deb! We have a sad goodbye. Dee is taking a break from the team to focus on her health. Please keep her in your prayers! We will miss you Dee! Big hugs to you!Changing gears -- let's hear it for the dads! I used the same basic layout as the seed pocket but this time - I mixed it up with Flourishes Menswear set and instead of seeds-- I added some coveted baseball tickets! How fun is that? I also made the pennant by using a triangular piece of cardstock, paper pierced it and added #1 Dad to it. The wooden handle is actually... just a toothpick! Add a button and a wish for a "Happy Father's Day" and... you're done!
