To start I pulled out the Best Mom stamps and dies again! 😉

I wanted to go for a different color palette so I stamped the flowers with navy ink, the leaves with a cool grey ink, and the flower center with yellow.  Then I added yellow nuvo drops to the flower center and set that aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.

I die-cut the Dotted Chevron cover up die with white cardstock and layered that on a white card base.  Then I stamped the sentiment from One Love and trimmed it down to a skinny label.  I adhered that to the top of the panel and then added my flower on top!  This would be a pretty design for a wedding card and you could easily customize that flower with any combination of colors!

My next card has A LOT going on though you can’t really see it all in the photograph.  First I stamped the Brushed Plaid stamp onto a piece of black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I created a shaker tag from white cardstock and rainbow patterned paper using the new Shaker Tag set.

I stamped the sentiment from Grad Class on the bottom panel of the shaker and filled it with clear confetti, sparkling clear sequins, and silver stars.  I adhered that over my black card base and added a few black stars to the base.

And that’s it for the April release!  Here’s one more look at my release cards! 🙂
