I just returned from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where I went to celebrate my mom's 89th birthday! What a special day it was - my son and his family from Maryland traveled to the Cape to meet me and my husband, and we all took my mom and dad out for breakfast at one of our favorite eateries: Jack's Outback. Here we all are:
And here is the card I made for her:
I figured someone who was turning 89, and who loves fall colors, needed a special card. So I pulled out my new fav set,
Painted Harvest, and mixed it up with my new fav accessory,
Embossing Paste and the
Decorative Masks.
Look at the texture!
I started with a piece of
Very Vanilla and stamped two of the flowers using
Daffodil Delight,
Crushed Curry and
Cajun Craze. I repeated this on a piece of scrap paper, twice, and fussy cut the flowers, layering them with
Dimensionals.
Next came the texture: using the Decorative Mask brick wall, I spread on some Embossing Paste
that had been mixed with
Cajun Craze ink refill. I was careful to not spread paste over my stamped flowers, leaving an open area devoid of paste in the center. Once done and dry, it
was adhered to a piece of
Garden Green, then
Cajun Craze, and the card
base of
Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock.
My cut flower was added, along with two sets of leaves, punched with the
Leaf Punch.
And the sentiment, from
Dragonfly Dreams, was heat embossed using
Copper embossing powder, on
vellum cardstock. This was layered over two pieces of
Burlap Ribbon...so pretty!
And can you see the sparkle on the flower center? I added
Clear Wink of Stella to each flower for a little added bling.
Happy Birthday Mom!
