Mother's Day is just around the corner and even tho the weather does not feel like Spring, this card Screams Spring! This card was inspired by a swap from Convention 2012. I changed the colors and the focal stamp, but used the Border idea which drew me to this swap.
The card base is Daffodil Delight. The White mat is cut at 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. You will trim it down after stamping the flowers so it fits on the card base leaving a frame of color. The Flower from Betsy's Blossoms was stamped in Calypso Color down the side of the Whisper White card stock. Trim the flowers with paper snips and then even off the bottom and top with your paper trimmer. The Sentiment from "Wonderful Mother" was stamped in Calypso Coral. The large Butterfly from "Best of Butterflies" was stamped on the white card mat in Daffodil Delight ink. The Butterfly was stamped again using the "Rock N Roll" technique on a scrap of Whisper White card stock. Ink the Stamp with the Daffodil Delight ink and then Roll the edges on the Calypso Coral ink pad. Stamp and then cut out this Butterfly. I popped it up with a glue dot and added a strand of pearls as the body. I added 2 mini Calypso Coral Butterflies cut from the Beautiful Butterflies Embosslit. Larger pearls were added to the center of each flower. Great card for Mother's Day, Birthday, All Occasion!
