Spring Roses Mother's Day Card - Altenew & Concord & 9th

Hi blog friends!

My, it's been a while hasn't it? I hope you are all still keeping safe and well in this crazy world.

To be honest I haven't really been making cards for personal use, the craft magazines have been keeping me exceptionally busy and after finishing those projects, I just wasn't in the mood. 

Anyhoo, with Mother's day coming up, I knew I had to get creating. I am a big fan of Altenew and last year I purchased their beautiful die set called Spring Roses. 

This die set consists of three quite large clusters of roses. I knew that I wanted to make my Mum a card using these dies. I teamed them up with some bold lettering by Concord & 9th and some subtle stencilling.

What you need...

Dies: 

Spring Roses - Altenew

Double Cut Alphabet - Concord & 9th

Stencil:

Basic Spots - Clearly Besotted

Ink pad:

Sprout - Concord & 9th

Card stock:

Key Lime - Silhouette Self Adhesive

Leaf Green

Mint

Black

Solar White 110lb - Neenah Classic Crest

Embellishments:

Lucky Dip Night - Little Things from Lucy's Cards

Extras:

Adhesives

What you do...

1 Die cut the larger of the double cluster of roses once each in Black, Mint and Key Lime. Use a small piece of Leaf Green to cut the small cluster of spiky leaves.

2 Cut a 10.5cm x 13.5cm piece of the white card and with the Sprout ink, stencil an area of spots in the centre of the card, blending to a fade.

3 Attach the roses to the lower right corner. Then infill with the Leaf Green, Key Lime and Mint die cut pieces.

4 Die cut the 'MUM' from the Black card and adhere above the rose cluster and add some black gems.

5 Mat the panel onto an 11cm x 14cm top fold blank.

I was debating as to create the roses with pink card, but I'm glad I went with the Mint colour. My Mum loved it. Remember to keep all the extra die cuts to create another card. 

Before I started to infill the roses, I noticed it looked really good with just the outline of the flowers over the stencilled background, I will have to do that one in a future project.

I will sign off for now, I do have a 3D St. Patrick's Day card I did for some friends which was created using my Silhouette, so I'll be back soon with that one.
