Flowers for Mom

Happy Mother's Day! We are celebrating in Canada today. I made this peek-a-boo slider card for my mom. From the front you see an inner message of Happy Mother's Day - a wonderful calligraphy stamp by Quietfire Design. I chose to stamp in a warm brown to coordinate with the Stampin' Up! long-retired designer papers.

The front floral is a stamp, stencil and die set by Pinkfresh Studio called Slimline Floral Notes. The spray measures about 8.25 inches but I cut it apart to fit this A2 sized-card. I used various inks to stencil in the shading.

The fun part of this card is that when it is opened, there is a middle panel that slides across and a new sentiment appears in the cirle inside. It's kind of magical!

This is another stamp from Quietfire Design. The peach paper is ribbed so the stamped image was affected a bit.

I learned how to do this card by following the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/fuhTKf5WiYM?si=P0AYvDPruvxfYVIs. Next time I will use a smaller circle like the originator as I see how that might work a little better.

Here is a view of the card from above.

Mom said it is "creative" and "lovely" so I am glad I tried this out. Besides the floral die, I used Spellbinders graduated circles for the apertures. I am entering this in the Die Cut Divas May Challenge for Celebrations.
