SNSS A Mother's Love

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another card designed with the new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps A Mother’s Love Clear Stamp Set from the SNSS April Release and the previously released stamp set, Grunge Elements 2.

With Mother’s Day only a few weeks away, A Mother’s Love Clear Stamp Set is perfect for quick and easy cards as well as more layered cards not to mention, new Mother cards or overall general encouragement.

I decided to use the Splitcoaststampers SC691 for the layout and am also linking to the Word Art Wednesday #330-#331 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the mother/child image along with the hearts and sentiment from A Mother’s Love with archival black ink, stamp onto the prepared panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the image with a stitched rectangle die.  Mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trim close to the edge.

 

2). Ink the heart image from Grunge Elements 2 with distress oxide ink and stamp onto the Mother’s Day panel. Wipe off any excess ink from the images with a paper towel.

3). Trim a piece of designer paper to approx..4” x 5 ¼”, mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trim and add the horizontal strip of black cardstock.  Adhere the entire panel onto the white card base.

4). Mount the Mother’s Day image onto the card front with dimensional foam. 

5). Add the triple satin ribbon bow with a button to the corner of the panel.

6). Add a few black crystal drops onto the lower portion of the Mother’s Day panel and rhinestones to the center of the embossed hearts to finish off the card..
