Thinking of You for Mother's Day (2 Cards)

When I first started on my Mother's Day  cards, I didn't have any stamps related to Mother's Day so the cards I started making were just "Thinking of You" cards. But before I could finish making all of the Mother's Day cards I needed to make my own Ma was nice and bought me 2 very lovely sets (cards with those sets will be shown in a few other posts). 

Anyhow, I made 2 pretty thinking of you cards. I don't have any previews so you know what to do...

Both cards have the same layout but have very different colors.

For the doilies on these cards I used the SU! Doilies die cuts in glitter paper that I had on hand. You can't tell by the picture but it's so shimmery and pretty! I used the SU! Top Note die to cut out the blue cardstock.

The flower is from the SU! "Cottage Rose" set, I colored it with prismacolored pencils and blended with gamsol and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I used some yellow friendship thread to tie a perfect little bow and attached it with Glossy Accents. I also used some leftover diamonds from one of my diamond art kits.

The flower and the blue cardstock are both 3D, popped up with 3D foam squares and circles.

I used an Inkadinkado stamp to heat emboss the sentiment in white.

For the inside I used this sentiment because I thought it went well for Mother's Day. I did end up getting the new Mother's Day stamp sets before both of these cards were sent out, so I was able to use a "Happy Mother's Day" stamp inside.

HERE'S THE 2nd CARD...

For this one I used pink glitter paper for the doily that I had already cut and on hand. I went with yellow cardstock for the Top Note die and a pretty blue flower.

These little diamond dots add such a nice touch to the cards. Here I used 1 color to match some element on the card

And again, I heat embossed the sentiment.

That's all for these 2 cards, I hope you enjoyed them. Check back soon because I have a few other Mother's Day cards to share because I got a big order of cards from a friend, so I made a LOT!

Keep on Craftin'!
