I actually made 2 cards with leftover scraps from the matchbook album I made a few weeks ago. Both are 'MOM' themed and would be great as a mother's day card or even just a thinking of you card for your mother. They are both being sent away for card swaps.
The first card is my take on this week's
Mojo Monday Sketch. What a fun sketch they offered up this week and I really had to think a bit to figure out how I was going to incorporate my paper crafting style of little to no stamping into the sketch that has the big image spot. I ended up using pink mulberry paper and 2 coordinating papers from JoAnns that have a 'mother' theme. I matted the top piece with the same cardstock as the middle stripe. The 'MOM' letters are cut from the reverse side of the 2-sided mulberry paper. The ribbon is just the closest match I could find in my stash. I hope you enjoy it :)
The second card followed (well mostly) this week's challenge on
The Cuttlebug Spot. It was there first time offering up a sketch as the challenge and I think it was a GREAT sketch!! To see the original click
HERE. I used the same patterned papers, cardstock and 2-sided mulberry paper. The center O was covered with primas as a way to incorporate the flower from the sketch. Totally different spot, but it's there! LOL. :)
I love your "minimal stamping" cards! I just got a cuttlebug so I was excited to see your creations and the link to the Cuttlebug spot blog! Thanks for visiting my blog :0)
