a gift of seeds for mom in a pocket

Here is a great gift idea for Mom on her special day. I used the pre cut wild wasabi card stock and created a pocket to hold the seed packet. Using water color pencils gave the stamped image a soft look.

Three of my favorite things

I used three of my favorite things on this card today. Brads, dry emboss with cuttlebug, and heat embossing the swirl and butterfly with white embossing powder. I found this soft brown back ground paper in my stash which I am trying to use up. I like the softness of this card.

Friends

I saw a card using the same color card stock layers and like the way the card had a soft feel about it. I tried that on this card today. I also used my cuttlebug to only emboss part of the white square for the center of this card.

Combined three challenges

This card is a combo for three different challenges on splitcoaststamper's. First a technique called "paper toll" The flower was stamped three times. I cut out one flower and attached with pop up dots and then I cut out four petals and pop them up for a third layer. The second challenge was a color challenge. Coral, moss, apricot, and carmel. Third was for the sketch challenge with is a simple layout. I used the stamp set "Touch of Nature" from Stampin up.
