Good morning, Alicia here today with some alternative Mother's Day cards. The cards I have created use Quick Quotes Vellum Quotes and Quick Quotes Phrases and Quotes as the primary element. Any of the cards I made could be Mother's Day cards or for a special mother figure in your life.
On this card I used some dies, glitter stickers, layers of paper, a die cut frame with pearls, buttons and a flower. I also added the peachy butterfly as the final touch. I chalked all the edges with Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking inks.
For the second card I used more layers of paper and die cuts. I also added some lovely fiber and pearls. Again, I chalked all the edges with Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking inks.
Finally, I created a card with some of the scraps from the first two cards. I added some punches and as always inked the edges.
