Mothers Day...

Mothers Day is fast approaching and I decided to make a special card - this is a tri-fold card that uses the beautiful stamp set Dream a Little along with some beautiful designer series papers...

The base of the card uses Chocolate Chip Cardstock - for the front page I attached a card front that I made a few weeks ago - you can find the instructions on how to make it further down this blog in a post titled 'Dream a Little in Chocolate and Pink'.

The second page uses a piece of pink DSP from Bella Rose onto which I stamped the leaves and flowers in Kiwi Kiss ink using my Stamp-a-majig to ensure perfect placement. I colored in the images using Watercolor Wonder Crayons and tied a piece of Very Vanilla/Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon around, using a ribbon slide from Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware as a finishing touch.

The last page uses DSP from Bella Rose and Candy Lane and the pocket contains a pull-out piece of paper onto which I will write my note.

The sentiments are all rub-ons from the Chit Chat pack that you can find on pg 173 of the Spring Summer Catalog - I love these rub-ons and you can use them on paper, cardstock, ribbons, twill tape, acrylic, glass...there is a sentiment for every occasion which makes them fabulous value for money.

I love how this card turned out - a very beautiful look for a very special person :-)
