Hello my crafty friends
Today I'm sharing a pretty floral Mother's Day card. The front is nice and simple with a stamped and matted greeting and a seam binding bow.
To get the ombre look on the ribbon tails, I lightly spritzed the ribbon ends with water, loaded a water brush with dye ink scribbled onto a plastic palette then touched the brush to the ribbon and let it dry.
Inside I made a Pop-Up using the Cupcake Pop-Up to animate a woven basket filled with flowers and greenery. Karen Burniston's Woven Basket is a stand-alone Pop-Up die set that is proving to be very versatile. There are lots of ways to use it and the Peeps are sharing what they come up with on the Karen Burniston Pop-Up Peeps page on Facebook. If you are on Facebook and you like Karen Burniston dies - you should definitely join this group!
I added a scalloped border at the top and bottom using the Tropical Scene die set. For the woven basket, I cut one piece (that cuts two at a time) and put one of them aside for another day. I cut the weaving strips and assembled the single panel woven basket with some inking for definition.
The stamps and washi tape die are from Your Next Stamp. I love butterflies this time of year, so added a couple of butterflies from the Circle Charm Pop-Up.
I added lots of bling to this card, seeing as it will be hand delivered I didn't need to worry about bulk and extra postage.
I really liked this patterned paper, and enjoyed working with these bright happy colours. Especially with the weather we had here this week ... this is what we woke up to yesterday morning. Sigh.

Thanks for stopping by today
Loving the woven basket as a pop up
ReplyDeleteI also like how you used the patterned paper for the flowers which gave the card lots of colour. And how you hid the platform with that little touch of green.
