Mother's Day is Coming

Before you know it we will be celebrating moms!!! Time flies doesn't it? I wanted to play along at Freshly Made Sketches #683 and went the ombré and sparkle route. Here is my take on their latest sketch.




What I used to make my card:

My Favorite Things - Harmonious Hibiscus Background stamp

Reverse Confetti - Mom die

Picket Fence - Diva Hearts

Ranger - Distress Oxide inks

Altenew - Obsidian black ink pad

Black glitter cardstock


One way that I see the sketch is a light side and a colored side, so that's where I went with it. After stamping the background with black ink, I went bright with my colors to make the dark sentiment pop. This sketch really makes it easy to come up with all sorts of designs!

Thanks for stopping in,

Carol

This is such a fun card! I just love how you've created this sketch! The black and white looks amazing on the one side and I just love the pop of colour on the other side! Perfect for Mother's Day! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
