Just squeezing in a second post inspired by April’s 12 Tags of 2015. This time with 2 Mother’s Day cards for a lovely American girl from my French class to send home. She asked me where she could buy Mother’s Day cards in Switzerland so I offered to make her a couple. She had recently given me some Reese’s candy, (and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for chocolate)!!!
As time was limited, I turned once again to Tim’s April tag for inspiration. I am still waiting for my “craft dealer”, (as my DH calls her), to return from holiday so I can get my hands on Tim’s new flower garden stamps. However, with a little distress ink you can make any stamp work… (temporarily anyway)!
I used the alphanumeric thinlit dies to create a customised “Mother’s Day” banner. I LOVE these dies, they are SO versatile, I LOVE that about Tim’s products!
I can’t wait for Friday! Tim’s May tag and the new distress color is unveiled! Could Fridays get any better? I DON’T THINK SO!!! đ
Thanks for taking a look at my cards and I hope you can check out the following challenge blogs.
