Just Add Ink #66

It's that time of year, when for one day "MUM" is No: 1, whether your a Mother, Grandmother or Daughter it is a day to remember or be remembered.
So in honour of that Just Add Ink have set a challenge to Just Add a Flower,
 All the girls on the DT have produced some Beautiful samples to get those creative juices flowing....

As Cherry Cobbler is one of my favourite SU colours, l went with that & Very Vanilla. using the Build a blossom stamps & Blossom petals punch, l stamped on Very Vanilla with Cherry cobbler & over stamped using the stamp-a-ma-jig with Bravo Burgundy & punched out the petals, the under layer of petals is Cobbler c/stock punched & run through the Crimper, for the leaves l used Pear & Old olive.
All of the petals & leaves copped a severe scrunching just to soften the look.
Using the Cobbler DSP l embossed it with the Framed Tulips Emb/folder & also used this on the Very Vanilla centre panel, to finish off l punched a Cobbler Decorative label & stamped my greeting from the "Well Scripted" stamp set & added the lovely "All a Flutter" butterfly, a couple of Basic Pearls and it was complete.

Wishing everyone a lovely Mothers Day.

    You have done a wonderful job on this flower! I find this set a bit difficult and the punch frustrating. You have inspired me to try again!

    Well, Nikki, once again you've hit it out of the park with your beautiful creation. My favourite part, of the card, and of your description, is that "the petals and leaves copped a severe scrunching". Fabulous!!
    PS: Are you home??

    I love how you have slanted the greeting and popped the butterfly on top to finish off your absolutely stunning card.
