For Mom~

Taking a cue from the sympathy card below I made my first card set in many months for my biggest supporter as part of her birthday gift.

She admired the simplicity of the sympathy card so I knew that she would like these as well, and she did.  Boxes were made using my Scor-Pal, one to house the cards and envelopes, the other held the vintage silverware bracelet we gave to her.

Floral images were colored direct to stamp with markers and spritzed with water before stamping.
When dry, Stickles were applied to the flower heads and "smeared" with my finger creating a subtle glitter effect.

Again, images aren't new but rather from my supply of well loved floral images.
Cards are 4.5" x 6.25"

Stamps by Hero Arts and Rubber Stampede
Ink: None
Paper: GKD Pure Luxury Ivory and Green Apple
Patterned paper for boxes by Basic Grey
Other: Memento Markers, Water bottle, Spritzer tool, Corner rounder, Linen thread, Stickles, Dimensionals
