Crocus for mum

Good Morning everyone

Today im sharing the card Ive made for my mum for Mother's day


Approx size 7x7" I first die cut my cardbase using these fab inverted corner dies and then cut a smaller layer from cardstock coloured with brusho's, from this brusho piece i die cut the memory box circle burst from the middle, i added rose gold mirror card behind this aperture and attached the panel to the base card.  I then die cut 2 frames using the same shape dies and white cardstock, one i adhered flat to the base card and one i added with 2mm foam tape.......I ended up with the smaller inner frame which i added flat as after die cutting my frame I felt the aperture was too big.

I then stamped lots of the Chocolate baroque crocus stamps and watercoloured with distress inks, added some detail with posca pens and then cut them out.  I then got building up the arrangement with glue gel, tucking them behind the frame.  I then added a big bee that i had left over from previous project but it was the ideal touch as mum & I were watching the bees on her crocus the other day. 

Computer printed sentiment die cut into a circle to finish.

Just a close up, this lovely rose gold mirror card is from Crafters companion and the memory box circle burst die is still one of my most used and ive had it about 10yrs now. 

Items Used:
Chocolate Baroque stamps 'spring is in the air' & 'honey bee'
Memory box dies 'circle burst'
Circle & Inverted square dies
Brusho's - turquoise,lime
Distress inks - wild honey, vintage photo, evergreen bough, seedless preserve, shaded lilac
Posca pens - white, lemon, lilac

 Thank you all for popping by once again.  I hope you enjoy the rest of the week and then weekend.  Emmax
