Mother's Day Card For Two Challenges

The year certainly is flying by! Tomorrow is Mother's Day already and I finished this card in the nick of time. I had some inspiration from two challenges to help me get started. First, over at Retro Rubber #271 (#rrcb271) they have a lovely color palette to choose from. All you have to do in addition to that is to use a stamp that's older than a year. I'm often surprised when I go to look up the year my stamp was released and find that it's 5 years old. It seems like I just got that set a couple of years ago. 

Then over at Word Power Challenge you just have to make a word or sentiment the focal point of you card. Hopefully I was able to do that here, even with all the flowers around.

Here's my complete supply list: 

  • Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Posies (2020)
  • SU! Letters For You (2019)
  • SU! Large Letters Dies (2019)
  • SU! Highland Heather Card Stock & Ink
  • SU! Bubble Bath Ink
  • SU! Fresh Freesia Ink
  • SU! Smoky Slate Ink
  • SU! Basic Gray Ink
  • Misc. Patterned Papers
  • Jolee's Pearl Dots

I tried to keep the card as true to the Retro Rubber Challenge colors as possible, so I made the leaves from gray rather than green, as to not overpower the subtle colors.

Whatever your Mother's Day Weekend brings, I hope you have a wonderful time. And thanks so much for stopping by today!
