The first one is for my mom. I wanted something
cheerful, a bit summery and fun. Plus, I wanted to try out Beate's weekend sketch. This one actually has very minimal stamping, but it was still a bit of work with the all the cutting. I used some of the Summer Picnic papers for my flowers. The small flowers are all from one piece, and the larger flowers are from a different piece. I really like the look of the red, bashful, and olive with a kraft base. Inside the card it says "You're Amazing", because my mom is pretty amazing!

Next up, this one started out because of a certain trip to Michaels on Friday... I have a soft spot 
for SEI papers, and they had paper pads on sale. This one is from Black Orchid. It's a fun mixture of celery, black, white, coral, and aqua. I looked through my floral stamps and found that these ones from PaperTrey's Beautiful Blooms were the best match. This card if for one of my grandmothers. She's got a bright, personality, and the coral reminded me of her.

For my other grandmother, the first thing that came to mind was roses. She has the entire 
Country Roses china collection, and likes rose scents, and of course the actual live flowers too. So I had to use Kitchen Sink Stamps 3-Step Roses. I thought about doing the pink-red of the Country Roses china, but I thought yellow would be a nice choice too. I used So Saffron and More Mustard for the roses, and Celery, Wasabi, and Garden Green for the Leaves. This mother's day sentiment comes from one of the retired All Year Cheers. I wanted a bit of something one the saffron background, so I stamped some French Script.

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Mother's Day!
These are gorgeous cards! I love that Black Orchid SEI paper - but my M's was out of 8x8 pads. But I did buy the other one which is gorgeous. I've never bought SEI paper-didn't realize how beautiful their patterns are.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these cards. Love your color combinations, too.. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely cards, Natasha. I just got that SEI paper this last week too...both pads.
ReplyDeleteThese are all just fabulous! I love your clean simple designs. The second is my favorite...I love the added drama the black brings.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous~!!
ReplyDeleteThe roses look really beautiful - I'm sure your grandmother loved the card! Keep the great designs coming...I added a link to your blog from mine earlier today.
