Girlie

In the UK they just celebrated Mother's Day, so at Basic Grey the challenge is to make a Mother's Day card or girlie card. The cream background is the back side of the Wassail sleigh ride paper. At Simon Says, the challenge is to show a handmade background. I just learned this new background technique and had to use it for this card! I painted kraft cardstock with green and pink acrylic paint and ran the piece through and embossing folder. I then sanded the raised areas and applied brown ink on some of the sanded areas. The flowers are made from inked baby wipes that I used to wipe ink off my stamps with. I used a flower die cut to cut out the flower shapes and then bunched them up to make the flower fluffy.
