It’s all retiring!  Yikes!  This card was inspired by one I saw on Splitcoast.  I used the same layout but changed the stamps and used the Framelits to die cut.  The other card had a beautiful tulip watercolored onto the front of the card.  The deep, side punch is a Martha Stewart punch that I used for a wedding invitation a year or two ago.

Stamp Sets – Backyard Basics, Blessings from heaven
Cardstock – Whisper White
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Stampin Write Markers – Crisp Cantaloupe, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Pool Party

Continue the fun!  I used the Karen Burniston’s Accordion Circle die again to create a Mother’s day card .  This card features the Spiral Rose die – expanded with the blossom punch – and the butterfly from Backyard Basics on the front.  The piece underneath the rose is from Daydream Medallions.  It looks so pretty on the Happy Watercolor paper.  The instructions for the spiral rose can be found here. 

This is the card opened – The center sentiment is from Lots of Thanks – a great sentiment for my mom!  I continued with Daydream Medallions and butterflies.  To finish the card I covered the back with more Happy Watercolor DSP and put 2 butterflies so that the wings from the front are covered.

Playing around with Backyard Basics!  I saw a card on Splitcoast that used this layout but in very bright, primary colors.  I switched it to the muted colors in Epic Day Designer Series paper. 

Then I used the new embossing folder in Holiday Mini called Pretty Print and some of the Natural White card stock.  There is a matching framelit set for this set that makes cutting the images a breeze.
