MAY BLOGGING FRIENDS BLOG HOP - MOTHER'S DAY

Once again it is time for this month's Blogging Friends Blog Hop.

Welcome to the May 2019 Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  My name is Tracey and I am from the sunny Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.  Thank you for joining me here.

The theme this month is "Mother's Day".  I loved creating a very beautiful card for my wonderful Mother.

Here is my card.

Here are some of the steps to create this card:

1. Base card is Soft Sea Foam with a layer of Pool Party and a Very Vanilla Layer.
2. From the Beauty Abounds Stamp Set stamp on the Very Vanilla Layer - the Floral Image at bottom left and along the bottom, and the larger circles randomly all over (Sahara Sand Ink).  Randomly stamp the smaller circles in Pool Party Ink.
3. Sponge the edges with Sahara Sand Ink.
4. Colour the Floral Images with Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam and Light Pineapple Punch Blends Markers).
5. Stamp the lady image on a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock in Black Memento Ink.  Colour with Blends Markers (Pool Party, Light Bermuda Bay, Petal Pink) and fussy cut out image.  Add Wink of Stella to her dress.
6. Stamp Happy Mother's Day from the Tea Together Stamp Set in Pool Party on Very Vanilla Cardstock and punch out with a 1 1/2" circle punch.  Sponge the edges with Sahara Sand Ink.
7. Using the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies die cut a small Doily from Pool Party Cardstock and a larger Doily from Soft Sea Foam.
8. From the Butterfly Beauty Thinlets Dies die cut a couple of the flourishes and leaves from both Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam Cardstock.
9. Assemble the card by affixing the larger Doily and the flourishes and leaves as shown in the photo.
10. Affix the centre of the Doily with dimensionals and then affix the lady image with dimensionals to the middle of the Doily.
11. Affix the sentiment to the small Doily.  Add some Very Vanilla Polka Dot Ribbon to the back and then affix with dimensionals.
12. Affix the Very Vanilla Layer to the Pool Party Layer and then to the Base Card.

Here are a couple of closer views of the small details on this card.

You can see here that I have used the Wink of Stella on her dress.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today and thank you for visiting.  Please continue on through the hop to see all the wonderful projects which have been created by some very talented ladies and gents.
