Hi everyone. Just wanted to share a Mother's Day card for the newest mom in our family. Baby Ben is almost two months now and is so darn cute; his new mom, Megan, is a natural!
For this card, I used a Doodle Pantry pre-colored image from the Cuddly Bear Color Plus set; and a sentiment from another DP set, Fancy Shoe. Initially, I formatted the bear image in Photoshop Elements. Then I pasted the bear twice and merged the images onto some digi paper in a Word document.
I also incorporated some wonderful challenges into my design, including a handmade flower which I made with a Memory Box fancy blossom die set and a MS leaf punch. The sketch is from Sketches by Carly #55.
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Sketches by Carly #55 -- sketch
One Crazy Stamper OCS Challenge - Mother's -- Mom-themed cards
The Perfect Sentiment (PSC30) -- Handmade flowers for Mom with mother's day sentiment on front
Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Challenge #37 -- Spots and Dots
Do You Stack Up (DYSU#70) -- Circles
Crafting for All Seasons Challenge #26 -- Handmade Flowers
Thanks so much for your visit! Have a great week!
