Flowers for Mom

  Hello and Happy April!  

The sketch at Fusion Card Challenge inspired me to make this Mom's Day card.  The image was giving me fits until I could 'see' it in the sketch.  



I started with this unique floral image from PinkFresh Studio from the set, Just Because. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the image with Copics.  Then the image sat on my desk for a while, lol. 
The sketch inspired me to use a circle die to trace a semi circle on the image panel and then fussy cut around it.  I scrounged through my stash of background panels and happened upon this monoprint that I had made using my Gel Press Printing Plate. I used cheap acrylic paint, a brayer and bubble wrap to make this print.  
 Once the background panel and the narrow strips of cs were adhered to the card base, I put the card in my MISTI and stamped the sentiment, which is from Altenew's Extra Special Stamp Set.  

I added sparkle with some SSS Moonshine Sequins.  

I am also linking up to Addicted to Stamps and More- Make Your Mark as well as Krafty Chicks Challenge, Anything Goes, and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, Easter/Spring.

Thanks for stopping by!
