Mothers Day card

Rather than using a backing paper on this card I used up some scraps – which is something we all like to do, isn’t it!  And I am sure you are like me in that you have loads of little pieces of paper that you can’t bare to throw away.  Well using your punches is a great way to use some of them up!

I used these four Fiskars Border Punches:

Apron Lace, Effervescence, Lace and Flowers

First of all though I stamped the heart and little flowers and coloured them with Copics.  Then cut them out with very handy Fiskars scissors!

Then I found some paper scraps to match the colours in the heart and cut four borders – all different lengths.

I then sewed each border onto a card blank overlapping each one on top of the other.

I then added the stamped heart and flowers, buttons, pearls and crystals and the little chipboard frame – which was coloured in a pink ink.

Hope you all have a lovely Mothers Day this weekend…… :)

    This is lovely Caroline! The spring colours are fab! I have not used copics before. Are they like pro markers? I love the layered border punches!
