Welcome to the April
Close to My Heart Joyful Stars Blog Hop.
Have some fun hopping between the blogs of this group of talented Close to My Heart consultants, and me, where we share creative projects using CTMH products.
My blog hop contribution this month is a single layer, long card with coordinating envelope using the Hello Lovely Paper.
I can't decide if I want to buy more of this pretty paper
before it is retired at the end of the month.
My inspiration for this card and envelope was a card entered in a challenge for which I design. It was created by Esther Asbury and can be found on her blog here.
Thank you, Esther, for sharing.
My mother and I share a cup of tea every Sunday afternoon,
so the February SOTM set was an obvious choice for her Mother's Day card.
The layered flower and pussy willows are cuts on the CTMH Flower Market Cricut Cartridge. I fussy cut and paper pieced the tea cup.
For the envelope, I used stamps that came with the Artistry cartridge, another pussy willow branch, and the word "Mother", also a cricut cut found on the Flower Market Cartridge.
I used the clear shimmer brush to add some interest to the flower and pussy willows.
Hope you can see it.
