Wonderful Mother

Found in my stash some Junkitz paper scraps that date back a gazillion years ago and the wonderful muted colours grabbed my eyes and I left them aside to use on something. I thought they would work great for a mother's day card, so I drew inspiration from this week's Mojo Sketch #433 to make this card.

There were actually a lot of scraps involved here, because the gold strip is a leftover border from the Memories in the Making Project Life Specialty Cards I received as a Sale-A-Bration freebie and used on my last scrapbook page. I had cut both edges of the frame off to show the sides of my cardstock, and that gold piece lying on my desk worked beautifully with the gold-brownish tones of the patterned papers. I embossed the gold strip with an lace-pattern embossing folder.

I found a sentiment that reads "For my wonderful mom" in the retired Delightful Dozen stamp set, and embossed it with Gold powder on Baked Brown Sugar cardstock. Using scraps again, I used a border left from the cardstock used for the card base, punched it with the Scallop Edge punch and rolled the strip of cardstock into a little rose. The two other embellishments come from last year's Artisan Embellishments kit.

I used the Curvy Corner Trio Punch on the flowery paper.
