Serene Garden Mother's Day Card

Hmmm - I couldn't capture this card properly with my camera - it looks much prettier in person!

I had to angle the card to catch the light on the copper
Serene Garden Bundle with Eclectic Layers

I used the new Serene Garden Bundle which will be available very soon (1 June) in the 2018 to 2019 Annual Catalogue.   One of the pieces in the Garden Scene die set creates a beautiful debossed image and I sponged over the top to highlight it.

I hand drew the stem with a Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write marker.

Gray Granite provides a pretty neutral in this berry colour palette
The greeting is from the "Must Have" stamp set called Itty Bitty Greetings.  I was very upset to see the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set retire but, I have to say, I think that this new set is even better!  It covers every occasion that I can think of!

To soften the severity of the layout, I used the trellis die from the Eclectic Layers Thinlits to cut a failed experiment!  I've been playing with Copper Foil, inks and embossing powder to try to achieve an engraved, patinated copper look ... that's still a work in progress!
