Flowers for Mum

It's my mum's birthday next week and I'm heading out to visit her today so I'll take her birthday present and card.  Hopefully she won't see this post before I get there :)

I used the colors from this week's ColourQ challenge and the sketch from Fusion to come up with this card that I hope she'll like.

I took some Very Vanilla cardstock and finger-walked the Dictionary stamp over it to create the diagonal panel as well as the horizontal panel.  For the circular piece, I first stamped the peonies then lightly over-stamped the Dictionary stamp with Fog ink to give a very light newsprint background.

All the panels were layered onto black cardstock.  The sentiment is a die-cut by Spellbinders and I stuck the Real Red piece to some double-sided sticky paper before die-cutting to make it easier to stick down.  I wasn't sure about the embellishments, but decided to go with some matte sequins in a dark gray color.

Thanks for visiting.

Stamps:  Dictionary (SU), Pretty Peonies (WP9)

Karren
