Hello, friends! It’s Wednesday!! It’s been a bit of a rough week for me with the weather changes here and I have been down with a migraine on and off since last Thursday, so not much stamping time for me!! BUT…I made this card last week before I got sick, so I thought I would finally share it with you.

Mother’s Day is almost here in the States so I thought it was a great time to get these new stamp sets, mums2stamp and moremums2love from The Stamps of Life, inky. I just picked them up at my class two weekends ago. I’m loving the way the two sets coordinate and build on each other. I tried my darndest to use on of the sentiments from the set as well, but it just wasn’t working for me. Back to my stamps I went and came up with this lovely sentiment from WPlus9, Strictly Sentiments 4.

I had to laugh at myself a bit as the gingham paper in this card and last Sunday’s card is almost exactly the same!! I guess I’ve just been feeling soft and dainty lately!! I used a pattern paper with a bit of orange in it as well as an additional thin strip of orange (well, Tangerine Tango to be completely honest) to balance out the strong color of the mum. A little bit of twine  also adds weight to the left side of the card as well as tying in with the ink color of the sentiment.

Unfortunately, I neglected to photograph the inside of the card, which is very prettily stamped with the mum outline and a sweet sentiment as well.

I hope you all have a fabulous end of the week!!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
