SC 0035/12: SUNNY CHALLENGES CARD FOR MUM

I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer at Sunny Challenges and Creations this week!

This week's sketch is shown below - and the second part of the challenge is to incorporate a "mothers" theme into your project.  With Mother's Day coming up next month, in the southern hemisphere, this is a good time to be thinking of cards for that occasion.  Alternatively, a birthday card or other project made especially for a Mum would fit this challenge nicely.




I've made a card using the beautiful Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper that was one of Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous freebies during Sale-a-Bration this year.




Stamps: Elizabeth, For My Family
Card: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Naturals Ivory
DSP: Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper
Ink: Crumb Cake stampin' pad and marker, Poppy Parade stampin' pad, Basic Black stampin' pad, Soft Suede stampin' pad
Other: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Corner Rounder punch, Victoria crochet trim, Crumb Cake seam binding, Everyday Enchantment brad, sponge daubers, Color Spritzer tool, Fun Flowers die, Modern Label punch, Basic Pearl, Fancy Flower punch, 5-Petal Flower punch, Boho Blossoms punch, sticky strip



Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team's samples for inspiration.  We all have different styles, so you're sure to get some great ideas.
