Today I wanted to share with you a mixed media Mother's Day card I created using these fabulous dies from Die-Namites Dies. The Spring Doily & the Leafy Branch die.

Spring Doily Die

Leafy Branch

I added Gold Embossing Powder to the Leafy Branch dies to give them more texture and sparkle. I love how they stand out against the background and give a royal feeling to my floral spray.

Here is the finished card.

I have prepared a start to finish video of me making the card.

Now, head on over to Lynne Forsythe’s blog to continue the hop.

Thank you for joining our blog hop!

Don't you just love spring? It is my favorite time of year. Today's project is a Shabby Chic layout of my Niece Adalyn at Easter last year egg hunting.

These gorgeous Botanicals from Petaloo complimented Marion's paper lines beautifully! Here are the products I used to create this layout.

The flowers remind me of the azaleas blooming in my front yard at the moment. I wanted to create a Shabby Chic Mixed media layout that I could hang on my fireplace mantle, and bring the spring in doors. Marion's Never Grow Up line had these beautiful spring patterns that made the entire piece come together.
