I really liked the idea of the fun-fold card here from Mary Ann Cowan. I loosely used her layout/design to create my Mother's Day cards for my Mother-in-law, my God-Mother and my Best Friend's Mom.
The color combos for the flowers are: Melon Mambo/Flirty Flamingo, Rich Razzleberry/Seaside Spray and Daffodil Delight/Calypso Coral. The leaves are combo -Granny Apple Green/Garden Green.
To achieve the soft look to the flowers and leaves, I used this technique. First color in the darker portion of the stamp with a Stampin' Write marker (in this case, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Calypso Coral. Next, ink the stamp in it's coordinating lighter color (lightly). Then stamp on paper.... cleaning stamp after each image is complete. I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the flowers to get them to sparkle.
The sentiment frames are from 'Potted Succulents' dies and 'Hippo and Friends' dies. With the Hippo and Friends dies.... don't forget to added some additional dimension by flipping the die upside-down and running a stylus around the inner edge.
Thanks for taking a look!
