Welcome to day three of the hop! Today I wanted to share a little mixed media card that I made for Mother's Day. This card could easily be used for any occasion by changing out the sentiment.

I used scraps from the Never Grow Up Sleep Over paper, Mad Tea Party Wonderland paper, Filigree Doily, Tea Party Stamps, Texture Stamps, and Garden Rose Stamps from Marion Smith S

Petaloo's Velvet Hydrangeas Fuchsia flowers are the star of this card.

I really wanted to showcase some of the Marion's amazing stamps on my card. So I painted the Sleepover paper with white gesso to tone down the paper pattern. I then used Archival Coffee Ink to stamp my images. I even stamped over the wooden filigree and the flowers, to give them texture.

This is one of my home made wooden embellishments that I made with the Tea Party stamps and a balsa wood piece. I did a tutorial a few months back. You can view it here.
