My crafty friend Denise recently purchased the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Anemone die set and made a beautiful card. It inspired me to pull out my die and create some Mother's Day cards for my daughter, daughter-in-law and the women I visit from church. I needed seven cards and decided to create seven different colored flowers.
Each of the cards had elements and colors that were universal to all, such as the flower centers, leaves, sentiment and frame. They were ink blended with the same inks to add dimension and visual interest. Those products are listed at the bottom of the post. I will list the cardstock and inks used for a flower below each photo. You'll have to let me know which you like best.
