What an incredible card. Just the time and patience to cut and shape all those little flowers shows your love and devotion for your mother. I love the dimension on this card. Your color matching is perfect. I love the inking on the background and I'm sure the Wink of Stella makes those butterflies pop in real life. The little drawer with a handle is just one more way of making this the most fantastic work of art. Your talent is tremendous. You put your whole heart into each card.
Oh my gosh!!! How did I miss this one??!! What an absolute BEAUTY!!! I can't believe you did all those individual flowers. This is just amazing and gorgeous!!! LOVE the three-dimensional effect!! And by the way, Marylou uses that Wink of Stella and never can get it to show up in her pictures either!!! LOL
I can't even imagine how long this took to make but every second was worth it - it's absolutely gorgeous and has just become my new favorite of your cards! Wow, just wow!
Are you kidding me! You made all those little flowers and then attached them and it came out looking as gorgeous as this. I am impressed for sure. If I tried this I would be full of sticky glue fingers and have a batch of unfinished flowers and no card. Really LC this is beautiful and beautifully made. Love it.
Oh my gosh! This is absolutely beautiful in every single way. Yes, there are days that definitely stand out in my mind as special, and you totally made this one even more special for your mom to remember! WOW!!!!! The lilacs are so delicate and totally blew me away!
Oh my goodness LC. I cant imagine a more beautiful card and I am sure your mother was touched by this reminder of a special day. I have that hydrangea die set so I know how much work went into making all those tiny flowers. Brilliant to use it for lilacs. Amazing attention to all those special details.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. I love lilacs & the smell is one of the best smells ever! This is so lovely & the blooms die cut, shaped & spritzed is beyond wonderful! Truly a treasure LC. I am so in awe, I keep going back & looking at every detail!:)
Wowzers, I'm so glad that you were able to create this STUNNING CARD, for your Mother!!! What a beautiful memory to re create something that is totally heartwarming!!!
Your Amazing!!!
I think we all have days that stand out in our hearts and minds as some of our best. One of those days, for both my Mom and I was quite a few years ago when we visited Rochester, New York and attended their Lilac Festival. I created this easel box card for my Mom as a reminder of that special day. I used a combination of Stamperia papers from their Lilac Flowers and Provence collections. Each lilac has many small blooms that were die cut, spritzed with water, then shaped. I first created a base then layered more and more blooms to give the flowers dimension. I added a brushing of Seedless Preserves Distress Ink to the flowers and the box. I digi printed my sentiments, a quote I like from Winnie the Pooh (A.A. Milne) and the 'Happy Mother's day' greeting you see when the easel card is standing up. The sentiment strips were lightly inked with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink to better match the background paper. I fussy cut the butterflies and covered them with Wink of Stella. I also traced over all the words on the card frame and box with Wink of Stella (I have yet to find a way of having that show up in my photos). The box beneath slides open to reveal a hand written note and photos from our trip.
Thank you so very much for your kindness and encouragement. It means a lot to me!
