Modern Felt Flowers for Mom

Heat Embossing and Coloring
I heat embossed the stamp set on cardstock and then the bowl on vellum. Then I colored in the flowers using these markers. I colored the back of the vellum using these markers.

Slider Pull Tab
I pulled out some watercolor cardstock for my background and used this metal die set to create the grass and clouds. I pulled some colored images from my stockpile storage to create the slider. I used foam tape to attach the small bunnies to the pull tab. The back of the slider was covered in this foam tape and adhered to my card base. I then stamped “Happy Mother’s Day” using this stamp set.

Ink Blended Shaker Card
I started by ink blending these inks in a circle on my cardstock. Then I spritzed this shimmer spray on there and blotted the excess. I cut out a rectangular frame and stamp a sentiment from this stamp set to create my own patterned paper. I heat embossed the word “mom” from the same stamp set onto this special heat resistant acetate. Then I attached the acetate to my frame. I then filled my shaker bits on the my ink blended background. I put foam tape on the back of my frame and then attached that to my background.
