Can you believe that Mother's Day is not very far away? Well today Flourishes has you covered with this beautiful sentiment set that speaks of the love of a mother, and how much we appreciate her!
Ever start a card with the ribbon? I did on this one! I hadn't used this beautiful coral shade of silk ribbon in a long time, and I was determined to do it on this card! I paired the beautiful sentiment with the equally beautiful Lenten Rose from the March Release, coloring it up with Copic Markers. I love how they frame the oval and the sentiment. Now that I look at it I can see I was highly inspired by Leslie Miller's gorgeous card last month with this set!
The sentiment is stamped on a sheet of Curio paper from Basic Grey and sits behind the popped up flowers and oval frame. And this is all on an embossed card base.
Here's the Copics I used G21, G24, G28, YG00, R30, R32, R35, R43, R46
Now here is a very simple but sweet card that really focusses on the embellishments and sentiment.
Clear cardstock can really make a design a show stopper can't it? Here I've created the card base with Flourishes Clear Cardstock, and then added the very pretty Pixie designer paper from Memory Box with the Labels Three Nestabilities shape (outside and inside the card so you can write on it), accenting with the Lotus Shapeabilities die. These beautiful accent roses are Rose Floret Flowers , and they are gorgeous! I've added some pretty pleated ribbon in pink and then some rhinestones to frame up the top a little. If you notice this is a take on this month's Christmas Challenge from Flourishes as well.

Christine I just love your work. You have such an elegant style with what you do. Your framed sentiment in the first one is awesome. I like the color and yes starting with the ribbon was a great idea. :0) Your second card is totally cool with the clear CS. Beautiful flowers and jewels. Fantastic cards!

Soooooo beautiful, Christine! Your first card is, yes, similar but different from my card last month. It's a classic design and I love how you dressed it up with that gorgeous ribbon. I'm inspired to get my clear cardstock out again after seeing your second card. Very pretty design on that, and the roses are divine!
