Art With Heart Showcase - Mother's Day

 Hello and welcome,

I'm so excited to share with you three projects I have created for the latest Art With Heart Team Creative Showcase hosted by Rachel Woollard, I'll post the link to her page at the end of my blog. 

We are sharing our creativity with the theme Mother's Day in our projects. Mother's Day is celebrated the second Sunday of May in Australia. It's a very special time of year for me by showing my appreciation to my mum with spending the day together, plus of course presenting a card and other nice things to her.  

I've created a Mother's Day card, bookmark and gift tag using the Pierced Blooms Dies with the True Love Designer Series Paper. The colours are bright and happy plus the additional black and white throughout. 

To create the coloured flowers I've used Basic White Cardstock, adding colour to the Cardstock with the Blending Brushes in the following Stampin' Up! Colors. Magenta Madness, So Saffron, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green. Then using a number of different flowers and leaves from the Pierced Blooms Dies and die cut out using the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

Before layering all of the die cut pieces I started on the base of the card with a half sheet of Basic Black Cardstock folded in half and then a panel of Basic White Cardstock. I've sponged Granny Apple Green Ink with the Blending Brush in a circular motion to add some colour to the white panel.

I thought I would do something a little bit different with the black & white polka dot DSP by cutting the piece on an angel with the Paper Trimmer. It's almost a triangle the top side measures at 10.5cm and the bottom is at 9cm. I made sure all the dots lined up straight when cutting the DSP.

Now the fun part with mixing and matching the different die cut pieces together to make the card, plus I had left over so I decided to make a book mark and gift tag.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set and fits perfectly inside the frame which is from the Pierced Blooms Dies. I've embossed the greeting using White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. I've added a few of the In Color Enamel Dots in Magenta Madness and Bumblebee.

The book mark and gift tag is similar to the card so I can give as a set. I've used the Delightful Tag Topper and added the Black & White Baker's Twine.

Well that's it for my blog, now it's time to visit Rachel Woollard and all the other participants from the Art With Heart Team. I'm so looking forward to seeing their beautiful projects.
