Hello, It’s the middle of the month and that means it’s time for the next Hues of Color at Color Hues. Cindy is our fabulous hostess and she has chosen a great color pairing for us, as you can see below and above. This card is for the store and is a Mother’s Day card.
Card Details: I had a great time putting this card together using some new to me supplies handed down to me by a good friend. These dies are retired and from Stampin Up and are called Pierced Blooms. The sentiment is a Mother’s Day set and is from Paper Roses. I used dark purple cardstock beneath my die-cut flowers to make them pop, and I like how it turned out. I did a bit of ink blending as you can see with my new small brushes from Waffle Flowers (love them) and Oxide Ink. A few sequins to finish it off. This card was inspired by this card Here!
I will be linking my card up over at NBUS as I had not used these dies before.
Now, I certainly hope you will head on over to Color Hues and check out my fabulous teammate’s cards along with our guest Amanda, and then play along! All the cards are so inspiring! Take care and happy crafting, Nanc’

Lucky you to have these as hand me downs Nancy, super card. By the way your Pinterest link to your inspiration card seems to be broken. 🙂

These gorgeous stitched flowers are sure to brighten anyone’s day, Nancy! The sentiment is one I haven’t seen before and it is so meaningful. I love that dark purple layer too. Fabulous design!

Those are some beautiful hand me down Nancy! You added just the right amounts of purple and green to make these blooms shine! Totally makes me smile!

Gorgeous, love it. It is interesting that those dies are retired when the flowers look quite contemporary to me. there are lots of stitched flower dies around at the moment. I am glad you are making the most of them xx

You’ve turned your hand-me-downs into a stellar card, Nancy! Those blooms, though retired, are, in your hands, delightfully modern and stylish. Lucky mom on the receiving end of this incredibly pretty card!

Those flowers are so sweet and putting the dark purple underneath accomplished what you wanted, they absolutely do pop off the card! As Karen said, that card will go quickly in the store, it’s a real beauty, my friend!
