I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Blossoming Basket stamp set bundle and the A Mother’s Flair stamp set to create a Mother’s Day card to share with you today.  Karen K suggested that this bundle would be excellent for Mother’s Day cards and she was so right!

I used a Blender Pen after heat embossing to color this beautiful image and I’m planning to jump on Facebook Live to show you how I made this card.  Hope that you can check out the replay on Facebook or on my YouTube channel on the link below !

The colors and flowers on my card were inspired by Global Design Project 128.

I started by embossing a panel of Crumb Cake card stock with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration item).  I adhered the embossed panel to a panel of Crumb Cake card stock with SNAIL.  Then I stamped the basket image from the Blossoming Basket stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of watercolor paper, sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.

I used a Blender Pen along with Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist and Crumb Cake inks to color the basket image.  I adhered the watercolor paper panel to a panel of Lemon Lime Twist card stock with SNAIL and then wrapped a strand of Linen Thread around it and tied a bow.  I adhered the layered panel to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the A Mother’s Flair stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic Black card stock, sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Petals & More Thinlits Dies and then adhered it to the card front with SNAIL and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the little tag from the Blossoming Basket stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Watercolor paper and heat embossed it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I colored it with Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral inks and a Blender Pen, then snipped it out and adhered it with a Glue Dot to the card front.  I colored three Rhinestone Basic Jewels with a Black Sharpie Marker and then added them randomly around the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the A Mother’s Flair stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock, then heat embossed two butterfly images from the Blossoming Basket stamp set on either side.  I used a Blender Pen and Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral inks to color the butterflies to finish the inside of the card.
