Hi, Friends.....
Here's a sweet card I made for my dear MIL for Mother's Day. She doesn't look at my blog, so I am okay posting it a few days early! :)
Somewhere along the line...maybe thrift store...maybe from some inherited craft supplies...who knows???.... I came to own a very pretty package of floral coasters. I LOVE them!! They are perfect for pairing with a doily and sentiment for a quick but charming card. There are four different floral styles and I let hubby choose which one to put a Happy Mother's Day greeting inside for his mom's special day. He chose this pretty purple one.
I love purple and use it a lot on my cards. I often pair it with green or yellow, but this time I tried gray to coordinate with this pretty coaster. I love how it gives a very serene look to a color that often is quite dramatic.
Supplies used include:
Unity "Thankful for You" stamp from grab bag - still trying to track down which set it came from.
Versafine ink in Smokey Gray
Salvaged white cardstock from a mailing advertisement
Lawn Fawn - Large Stitched Rectangles die set
Floral Coaster from stash
White Doily from my stash
Background panel from K&Co.
Core'dinations/Darice cardstock for card base
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope all you ladies out there know how vital and important you are...whether you are technicaly a Mother or not. All women play a crucial role as examples and mentors to the young ladies of today. Thank you for shaping the world of tomorrow.
🖤
