Hello All,
Happy Mother's Day to you!! I thought I'd share a card with you this morning that I made for one of my Grandmas. I used some of the new Guide Lines Grid card stock on this project.....this card stock is so fun to use even when you're not stamping on it with the Guide Lines stamp set! I like to use it as is, to give a quick and easy, subtle pattern to my projects!
I stamped a cameo image from the Wishing You stamp set and added a sentiment from the Mother stamp set. I paired the new smokey shadow and soft stone card stocks with melon berry on this one. Such a fun color combo and the subtle grid pattern in that soft gray further added to the color cohesiveness! :)
For the butterflies, I used my Martha Stewart punch and punched one in smokey shadow. On the second one (the lighter one), I punched out the butterfly in soft stone card stock and then stamped some polka dots on it with smokey shadow ink! Totally fun and easy! I just used the teeniest single dot stamp from Polka Dot Basics.
I hope you all have a fabulous day, whether you're a mother or not. And for those of you that are, I hope that you feel honored and loved all day today. :)
I fully intended to have a blog post for you yesterday, but it was PLANTING DAY here at the McVey ranch (hee). I LOOOOOOOVE planting day. Loading up the car with flowers from the nursery and then coming home and spending all day getting them planted makes me so happy! So, between the trip to the nursery and the planting, we ended up busy aaaaaaall day. I can't WAIT to share some photos with you of all that we got planted, but in the meantime, here's one of a Dahlia that I took at the nursery (in not so great lighting). I'll be sure and share more photos of our beauties soon!
Take care and enjoy your Sunday,
P.S. Back tonight with a fun Papertrey project post. The official Release Countdown has begun at Nichole's blog -- check it out!
