Snag those tropical colors from your paper stash and bring some Summer vibes to this year’s Mother’s Day card!
Donna has a bright card for this Mother’s Day project today. Donna said, “I was inspired by bright florals and tropical colors that instantly give me island vibes.” We love that. As a mother myself, I can just picture these tropical flowers sitting next to a tropical drink on a tropical beach somewhere, enjoying my special day haha. Follow along as Donna give us the steps to recreate this summer florals card.
- I began the card by taking a piece of teal cardstock and inking the edges with a slightly darker shade of teal to add depth and dimension.
- Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the 5211D Floral Frame Die to create the decorative frame layer.
- For the flowers, I used the 5109D Mixable Flower Stack Die and die-cut multiple layers from shades of yellow, poppy red, and apricot cardstock. Using a shaping tool, I molded the centers of each flower to give the flowers dimension and a more natural look. I then stacked and adhered the layers together and set those aside.
- I stamped the sentiment from the 3417 Mother’s Day Clear Stamp Set directly onto the center of the teal panel.
- Once all the elements were ready, I adhered the white floral frame onto the teal background using liquid adhesive.
- Next, I arranged the flowers around the frame, clustering them in opposite corners to frame the sentiment. I tucked die-cut greenery underneath the flowers to add some contrast.
- To finish the card, I added a few butterflies using the 5147-08D Small Butterflies Die, cut from the same poppy red cardstock.
