Happy Mother's Day!

 Hi Artzy friends -

This weekend is Mother's Day and I needed a card to send to my mother-in-law. My husband is driving out of state today to see her for the first time in well over a year!

I pulled out two of my favorite older Dare 2B Artzy products to create this simple yet pretty card.

The Trellis background die creates a beautiful background great with any type of image. 

If you're a newer D2BA follower I have a little tip for you, discovered by Artzy design team member Melody Blake. One layer of the diecut looks like this - 

But if you cut 2 panels, and turn one of them 180 degrees, you get a pattern like this - 

Pretty cool, huh? 

I cut two layers for my card but kept them lined up, just to add a little dimension.

The pitcher of flowers is from the Refresh the Soul stamps and Water Pitchers dies.

The sentiment is from the Bouquet 4 You stamp set.

I hope my mother-in-law enjoys this card; teal is one of her favorite colors!

And I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day and weekend!

Dare 2B Artzy November Challenge - Thankful

 Hi Artzy friends -

Can you believe November is here?! And with it comes autumn and the season of thanks.

I created this Thank You card with those things in mind, and it's perfect for our challenge this month, which is "Thankful."  

The pretty autumn colored flower pot is from the Bouquet 4 You stamp and die set. This stamp set is perfect for many occasions, and during any season - just change up the colors!

I mounted the image on a vellum die cut using the Rectangle Fancy Framelits dies, over a pretty patterned paper from the Autumn Oasis collection. I added the word "thanks" cut with the Thanks Double Layered Word die, using only one of the layers.

I am thankful that you stopped by today and hope that you will join the challenge this month! You will have a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the store!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
