Shabby Chic Mother's Day card.

Hey Guys

I hope you all are doing well. I am back with my new project which is a Shabby Chic Mother’s Day card. I have recently started trying my hand at some shabby chic projects and I hope you guys are liking it…… So anyways this one is made for my mother for the upcoming Mother’s Day. 

I have made this card using The Wedding collection paper pack from Papericious which I was hoarding for some time now and finally gave in the urge to use these beautiful papers….. I matter them with some silver glitter paper from Itsybitsy. I have distressed the pattern paper on the edges using Tim Holtz distressing tool.

On the paper, I added pattern chipboard element from Papericious. I coated it with some white gesso and let it dry thoroughly.  I made little shaker windows on the pattern chipboard using clear acetate sheets and some pretty Papericious  sequins, white star confetti stars and silver sparkle dots……Looks really cute.  To add a little sparkle, I added little clear sparkle powder and Twinklet Diamond Dust at few places.

Now was the fun part where I just went crazy with adding all the flowers and leaves. I used Papericious lace, Mulberry flowers like rose, lily and poppy and single pollen flowers, green diecut leaves and some diecuts from Elizabeth craft designs.

I added a sentiment “Happy Mother’s Day” from Just Rite stamps and some butterflies from the same stamp set on some vellum. I heat embossed it with some Black Ranger embossing powder and then used Abandoned Coral distress ink on the butterflies to give it some color. To finish the card front, I added some clear, silver and white cup sequins……cute right.

On the inside, I kept it pretty plain. I just added a bokeh effect paper from the same paper pack with some silver glitter paper. That finished my card.
