I've suddenly realised that next Sunday is Mother's Day here in the
UK and that I'd better get a wriggle on with my card making for it so
today my make is the first of my cards - this one will be for my
Godmother. I was inspired by the colours at ColorQ this week http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/colourq-challenge-233.html
I started with the gorgeous new Spring Wreath Die from Wplus9 but I wanted the flowers I put on it to be more of a statement that the little blooms that come with the die so I added flowers using Papersmooches Flowers Dies. To give some texture and a rich feel to the card I die cut all my elements from felt. The sentiment in the centre is also from Wplus9 - the little Mother's Day Bouquet set which I stamped using the awesome new inks from Avery Elle - this one is Fog - a warm mid-grey. After stamping the sentiment, I ran the panel through a woodgrain folder for more texture before adding the wreath and flowers and accenting them all with a tiny pearl centre.
The challenge at Papersmooches this week is Anything Goes so I'm linking up to their challenge too http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/march-16-22-anything-goes-wk3-challenge.html

What a lovely flower wreath and the felt texture with the tiny pearls is absolutely fab! Love the wood grain texture too!
