Roses for Mother's Day

I made this card in memory of my mother.
She had beautiful roses of all types & colors in her garden.  We would pick them often, and make full & beautiful bouquets to enjoy in vases throughout her house.   Just thinking of her, and missing her at this time more than ever.

Wishing all you moms a very Happy & Healthy & Safe Mother's Day!!!

Stamp set for the roses & greeting:  Tea Together (item #148779) - on the Last Chance list, available through June 2, while supplies last.
The little heart-and-leaves image is from Heart to Heart (151427).

The mason jar image is from an old set, BUT here is the good news!!
 Coming June 3, the 2020-2021 New Annual Catalog has a jar stamp + punch bundle!  The bundle is also part of a larger Suite of products, including lots of flower images.  What's more, there is a jar-shaped dome that coordinates with the punch, so that you can make shaker cards. Exciting, right?! It is one of my favorite sets in the new catalog.  If you are a fan of this type of card (and, by the way, the jar can hold lots of images, not just flowers!), you will LOVE the products coming June 3.

On this card, I stamped the mason jar in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on whisper white card stock, and also stamped it on vellum paper.  The vellum jar was die-cut with coordinating dies, also from the past.  The new punch coming in June will give you the opportunity to make this same type of image.

I stamped the roses next, also in Memento black ink. I used the masking technique to get the full, layered look. Then I used Stampin' Blends to color them.  The colors I used are:

• Rococo Rose
• Pineapple Punch
• Calypso Coral
• Granny Apple Green

Pineapple punch, a beautiful yellow, will be discontinued June 2, so if you love this shade of yellow as much as I do, order the papers, inks, blends, ribbons and any associated embellishments before they are gone.   

I stamped the greeting in Calypso Coral onto whisper white, with the heart also in Calypso, and leaves in olive green. (Use the Stampin' Write colored markers to first color the stamp, calypso for heart, olive green for leaves;  then stamp onto whisper white CS.)  This was die-cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690).   Adhere label onto vellum jar, and onto card front using Stampin' Dimensionals (keeping the dimensionals behind the label, so you can't see them through the vellum).

Adhere the card front to a piece of Pineapple Punch CS.  Using a coordinating ribbon, wrap a piece around and adhere ends behind the Pineapple Punch.  Then adhere all to the card base.

The rose image in this set is perfect for filling this mason jar vase.  Don't you agree?  I love how this came out today, and I hope you do too!  Let me know what you think.  And send me any questions you have, and I'll be happy to help you with your creative projects in any way I can.

Stay safe, stay well, take care.  Julie  ❤

Happy Mother's Day! 

Loving thoughts of my mom.
