Mom - Happiness Blooms

 Well, hello there, Friends!

Today I have a post that'll be visiting a few challenges and be handed to Mom this weekend!  It all started with Ida and I using the same products, ones that I had shared during our last visit.  Then of course, there was the PB Saturday Challenge and the PERFECT sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  It must've been fate!  Here is the product (main image) that Ida chose to use today ~


I started by stamping the flowers in VersaFine Claire Morning Mist, Copic coloring, adding dots of white and sparkle pens, plus winking with stella on the flower centers.  The darker panel is actually a great compliment, but I decided to add stripes, and so foiled it with an opal foil, which is really pretty IRL, but of course hard to capture!  I then decided to add the small letter dies for M-O-M and popped up the sentiment.
Hubbs says this is his all-time favorite card of mine!  I do believe that the photo doesn't do it justice... but I think he's a bit prejudiced.

This will be entered at (drumroll please) ~

PBSC May- Anything Goes, FMS #685 by Linda (sketch), Triple B May (blooms & colors), and The Flower Challenge #102 - Stripes or Dots 




 

Now, why not pop over to Ida's and see what beauty she's made today!

Supplies:
   PB - Blooms
   CP - Scallops & Dots (frame dies)
   PFS - Diagonal Plaid pp
   PTI - Smooth Alpha

Thanks for the visit and have a GREAT day!

Hugs,
TK

Your card is beautiful. Loving the color scheme you chose. The Wink of Stella is great (we think alike). It was fun doing this challenge with you.

Perfect use of that sketch. Nice to slide into other challenges too. I bet your mom loves this wonderful card!

You've colored these flowers so beautifully I would almost think it was one of their brushstroke cling stamps. What a lovely Mother's Day Card!

Your Copic coloring is amazing, TK, and the flowers are so dainty.
What a great way to combine all those challenges and you nailed every one. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.
