Happy Mother's Day! CC#259 & PTW For mum

It's almost that spring time of the year when we celebrate Mother's Day! I first looked for a stamp that I wanted to use.  I love this Stampin' Up stamp and chose to go simple and not color it all in.  I found the flowers from a K & Co. flower making kit and decided to use them as my layers.  I picked the blue scrapbook paper for the background and added a Stampin' Up pearl to the center of one of the flowers for some dimension.  This card was made for Papertake Weekly and Crafty Creations.

 

Happy 50th Birthday! CCC#57, CC #258, LRW #228

This card was created with these three challenges in mind:
Creative Card Crew #57 "Use a charm"
Crafty Creations #258 "Happy Birthday"
Little Red Wagon #228 "Truly Dimensional"
I used SEI poppy paper stack for the background and added Stampin up ink to numbers that might have been Tim Holtz (?).   I added a "Happy Day" charm, and to keep it masculine I used string rather then ribbon to link the charm on the card.  I added a dimensional dot to keep it straight and to bump it up with the numbers.  I added the star to balance the embellishments.
