Primrose Garden Mother's Day

Morning all!

I'm just popping on to share the card I made for my mum for this year's Mother's Day.

The occasion called for flowers, so of course a great opportunity to use my new Primrose Garden die set from Concord & 9th:

Stamps: The Greetery - Sign Off Sentiments, WPlus9 - Love Mom (r)
Dies: Concord & 9th - Primrose Garden, The Greetery - Sentiment Suite Basics, The Greetery - Sign Off Sentiments, Lil' Inker Designs - Silly Stitched (r)

This is the first outing of my Primrose Garden dies, so there was a bit of a learning curve selecting the cardstock colours I wanted to use.

They're all from my amassed stash of Concord & 9th and Stamp Market scraps.

I added some ink blending here and there for extra pop and I went for a rather dramatic focal floral.

I mounted the floral arrangement on a Pale Rose Cardshoppe base edged with a stitching die from Lil' Inkers.

As for the sentiments, I managed to snag a great little Mother's Day sentiment set from WPlus9 in the Bargain Basement at Seven Hills Crafts. Typewriter fonts are always so versatile for cards, and this one fit perfectly on a sentiment strip from The Greetery. It also pairs nicely with the Sign Off Sentiments from The Greetery.

I added Champagne Glitter drops from Pinkfresh Studio to the main sentiment, and Nuvo Jewel drops to the centres of the aqua flowers.

Until next time, happy crafting!
