With Mother's Day just around the corner here in Australia, the magical Miss Mel has put together a series of cards perfect to make for your mum on her special day (or get the kids to make one for you - they'll love playing with your Glimmermist!)
For this series of cards, Mel has used one of the Hero Arts card packs that we stock at Aussie Scrap Source. They are available in a variety of colours with each pack containing 10 acid free cards with matching envelopes perfect for those different special occasions. The cards are coloured on the outside and crisp white inside, just right to hand record your message.
The new range of Glimmer Mist sprays are perfect for cards. Lightly spray a colour over the entire front of your card (as Mel has demonstrated here using Pink Bubblegum) to create a beautiful working surface. Add a Jenni Bowlin die cut journaling card (butterfly), some Heidi Swapp bling and colour in the edges of the butterfly to match the Glimmer Mist. Add a special message to Mum using Hero Arts Basic Lowercase Letters.
Create an attractive card with a little layering. Here Mel has used a Heidi Swapp flower as her base, adding a Basic Grey Sultry chipboard flower and a Basic Grey button on top to complete the dimensional feel of the card.
Add an older photo of your Mum to her card this year for something really special. Fold a smaller sized Heidi Swapp flower in half directly underneath the photo, adhere into position and add some bling for a soft, pretty feel.
Pamper your Mum and create a cute little pocket on her card to hold a tea bag or coffee satchel. Mel has stitched the pocket into place and added a splash of glimmer mist (Pink Bubblegum) and BasicGrey ribbon before attaching her main message to the card - enjoy!
