Some Motherly Love....

It's day two of Flourishes sneaks and today, they are tipping their hats to the moms in our lives!

Introducing....

Motherly Love Graphic copy

When Flourishes came up with these sentiments just for moms, it knew that in addition to six beautifully scripted sentiments, their customers could turn to any one of their beautiful botanicals to bring these sentiments to life! And, that's just what the Flourishes design team did to showcase this new 4 by 3" set in our release! Want to win this set? Simply leave a comment on this post and you'll be in the running!

On to my creation!
For my card to honor my dear mom, I stamped the hyacinth from the Hello Hyacinth set and colored with watercolor pencils. It had been forever since I've used this medium. I am such a Copic girl, it seemed almost foriegn! ;-) After coloring my image up and adding some sparkle thanks to some glitter glue,  I did add some highlights with the B000 and B0000 copic markers. I cut my flower out with a Spellbinders Classic Circle die, matted it up on another circle and then again on one of Spellbinders new Doily Heart Circles -- I thought this die was a perfect match to this sentiment! Add some fun coordinating ribbon, a strip of decorative paper, an embossed panel, some paper piercing and... voila!


 And that, my friends, is it!

This card is absolutely gorgeous!

denise g. said...

P.U.! I can almost smell those hyacinths!! As the girl who taught me about coloring with pencils, I cannot believe you have cast them aside for your copics. You may have negelected them, but obviously you still know what to do with them because this card is stinkin' GORGEOUS!! I especially love that doily heart circle. You sure know how to add the best touches to make your cards eye poppin', jaw droppin' beautiful. And all I can do is ramble on, say thanks for sharing and wish you a happy power hour.

Amanda said...
