Flourishes April Pre-Release Challenge–The Motherly Love Challenge

Welcome to Flourishes April Pre-Release Challenge! This
month’s challenge is to make a Mother’s Day card. Won’t be long before we need them, so no time like the present to get started! You can get all the details about this challenge at the Flourishes Blog!

I lost my mother several years ago, but every Mother’s Day I remember that when I was growing up, she always got an orchid corsage to wear to church. So I decided to do this card with the gorgeous

Orchids set. I had never inked up this particular image so it was about time :)

I stamped it on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with these Copic collections:

Evergreen Collection:

Robin’s Egg Collection:

Hollyhock Collection:

Tea Rose Collection:

Then I cut it out with a Classic Oval Nestabilities die, matted it with a Labels Eighteen Nestabilities die and popped it up on the embossed and quartered base. The sentiment, from the Siberian Iris set, was stamped on a Standard Circle Nestabilities die cut and popped up on foam as well.

And that’s it! Now, be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you today...
