As I was cleaning up from yesterday’s card, I came across another Reverse Confetti floral stamp and discovered several flowers and leaves that I had previously colored and die cut. It didn’t take too long to make another Mother’s Day card for the Stock Your Stash Challenge which ends tomorrow.
Today’s florals come from a set “Tall Blooms”- another one that’s been in my collection for quite a few years.
After arranging the flowers on a piece of black cardstock, and adding the sentiment (from Pink and Main), I had to hunt through my cardstock for a piece of paper the right color for the mat. It turned out to be a good search. A friend ordered some Papertrey Ink cardstock for me weeks ago, and I had misplaced a couple of the packs which didn’t fit in the usual place. Low and behold, there they were! Neither of them worked for the card, but a mystery’s been solved. Better yet, I have the Pure Poppy cardstock that I love and don’t need to order more. The beautiful paper matting the florals is Orchid from The Stamp Market. I have a sample pack of all their colors and it’s proven to be a good purchase on several occasions.
When I put the panel on the white card base, it looked rather blah, so I added a strip of black and white striped patterned paper from My Favorite Things, and that seemed to perk it up a bit!
The sun is shining, but no walks until a delivery is made between 11:00 and 1:00. Rain is forecast for the afternoon, so hopefully we’ll get out before then. Hope your day is going well!
Such a vibrant card & I agree the black stripe behind the floral panel lifts it off the page. Perfect.
Lovely Mother’s Day card … and a good reminder that I need to get going on making a couple. 🙂
