Simply Less is More Week 5 #2

I really loved playing with the Waltzing Mouse stamps I used to make the engagement card the other night.  I've had the stamps a while but didn't have the matching spellbinders die to cut them out with so haven't really played with them much til now and I thought a pared down version would be another good entry into this weeks LIM challenge.  Rather than engagement this time, I thought a different sentiment coupled with the lovely label shapes would make a really elegant Mother's Day card and went for a floral theme as that is the gift my Mum always wants for Mother's Day - a house full of flowers!

Here's the link to the challenge site  http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/2011/03/week-5-colour-pastel-colours.html


I started with a swirly stamped layer, in sage versamagic, and stamped a sentiment in the middle in the same colour I cut this out by hand rather than using my nestie to make it just slightly smaller than the nested layer behind it.  This layer was cut from a soft green with little leaves all over to match the sentiment.  I then used a floral embossing folder on some white card to again add to the floral theme and popped a very sheer sage green ribbon around it, and tied a little bow on the bow easy.   I think this is my favourite CAS card to date.

Thanks for taking a look :-)
