Altenew Painted Flowers for Mother's Day

For such a straight-forward card, this one uses a wide variety of companies' products.

Here's the supply list:

• Stamps: Altenew Painted Flowers, CTMH Perfect Fit - Mom (retired)
• Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black
• Watercolor: Tim Holtz cardstock, Holbein Water Color Paints
• Accessories: MFT Frame Stitched Die, CTMH Artiste Cricut cut, silver rivets, Embroidery twine

I started by watercoloring blue over almost all of the 4.25 x 5.5" panel.  I concentrated the color along the top and right side.  Then I added splotches of orange and green.  When it was dry, I stamped the flowers so the leaves were generally where the green was.  I then angled the stitched frame die where I wanted it and ran it through my cuttlebug. I cut the black panel 1/8" larger than the floral panel and glued them together.

The sentiment label was cut from Artiste at 1.5" tall.  After I stamped the sentiment, I punched rivets through the ends and threaded thick embroidery floss through.  I added foam tape on the back, attached it to the floral panel, and taped the floss on the back.  More foam tape adhered the floral panel to the card base.

A few more Mother's Day cards to make this year and not a lot of time left to do them.

Until next time,
