Mother's Day Card Number 1

Good news today, I won the Joanna Sheen Challenge and have a fabulous £30 gift voucher to spend. Woohoo, thank you Joanna!! This month's challenge is to make Spring / Easter cards, so why not have a go? Well, I finally managed to get my Mother's day cards made, and this one has a lovely Spring scene so will be my entry.

"Happy Mother's Day"

I love to see the birds singing this time of year, and this free image from the Graphics Fairy is just so colourful and makes a great focal point. The image is printed, cut out and carefully shaped before applying Pinflair dimensional glue to the back and sticking to the background. The background stamping is from a Crafty Individuals set, and another Graphics Fairy image was used for the label with a Dovecraft sentiment stamped in black archival ink. The colours on the background, lace and flowers are all using the same distress ink pads with some Perfect Pearls on the stamped bird cage for a little shimmer.
