The Country Woods Suite is hands down my favourite suite in the new catalogue so it was a no brainer to use it to make a Mother’s Day card for my mum.
However, as Mum reads my blog I couldn’t post this card until after we had our Mother’s Day get together at my place last night!
I’ve used the Country Woods Designer Series Paper, the Country Lace Designer Series Paper, the Country Birdhouse Dies and the Country Flowers Dies to create a sweet country collage scene of a bunch of flowers sitting on the edge of a wooden table.
I thought the Smoky Slate striped pattern from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper looked like wallpaper and the dark Early Espresso wood pattern from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper would be perfect for the table. So this stunning DSP was the starting point for my design.
Mum loves blues, especially Misty Moonlight, so I cut the jug that holds the flowers from another DSP pattern in the Country Lace. I also cut a cute little teapot with a lid and then decided not to use the teapot on this card – I’ll save it for another card.
The sweet little Petal Pink flowers are also die cut from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper using Country Flowers Dies. To make the green leaves I randomly coloured Basic White cardstock using Mossy Meadow Stampin Blends in light and dark before die cutting them out.
The “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment comes from the Sentimental Rose Kit, stamped in Early Espresso onto another wood DSP design in the Country Woods DSP.
I used two of the roof dies from the Country Birdhouse dies to create a picture frame for the sentiment. And the hanging bow die from the Country Birdhouse dies to add a bow of ribbon to the vase.
Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins add the final touch of bling!
I’ll be back on Wednesday night with the AWH Colour Creations team showcasing one of the new 2024 -26 In Colours, Pretty in Pink. I hope you can join me then.
Great card, must have a go at this design, thank you
I JUST LOVED IT
