This Mother’s Day Card is filled with creative details that will take a little extra time – but isn’t Mom worth it?  Swap out the title stamp to make this intriguing card fit any occasion!

Instructions

STEP 1:

Using warm violet ink, stamp “Mother’s Day” sentiment onto white cardstock.

STEP 2:

Using bronze ink, overstamp script background.

STEP 3:

Punch completed sentiment three times with square punch to create tiled title.

STEP 4:

Repeat this technique on white and light gold cardstock to create remaining tiles.

STEP 5:

Ink edges of each tile with bronze ink, and mat two tiles onto plum cardstock.

STEP 6:

Embellish the individual squares with dimensional flower embellishments and rhinestones as desired.

STEP 7:

Stitch a border around a 5 x 7 inch panel of patterned paper and adhere to card front.

STEP 8:

Assemble the 12 squares at even intervals on the card, with the “Mother's Day” squares creating the second line and the plum-matted squares on the corners as shown.
