Flowers for Mother's Day
In the United Kingdom, Mother's Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in Lent (known as Mothering Sunday), and this year it was 26th March. For this occasion I made a flowery card for my Mum-in-law. The card is simple, but bright and cheerful and it was fun to make it.
To make this card you will need:
1. A 13.5 cm (folded size) white card and matching envelope from the Docrafts Anita's Square Card and Envelope set.
2. A few pieces of paper with different patterns.
3. A black marker.
4. A pair of scissors.
5. A few white double-sided sticky pads with dimensions 5 mm x 5 mm and 2 mm thickness.
To make the card draw some flowers on the patterned paper using the black marker. They don't need to be perfect - even better if they look like a child drew them. Next cut out the flowers outside the black lines so that they are still visible. Using sticky pads fix them to the card. Finish off the card by drawing some stems and leaves. Remember, less perfect is better! When I made this card I had so much fun, and as I love the end effect I'm planning to use this technique again in the future. That's it, enjoy!
Finished card.
