Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today, and I have some inspiration using one of the brand new sets from the April release! I was inspired by our fearless leader, the purple-loving Libby, to use lots of different shades of purple on this whimsical Mother's Day Vase image, but I kept the background seamless with lots of white cardstock. Let's get started with the details! ...

Mother's Day is less than three weeks away so if you plan to make a special card or two before then, it's a good time to get started! This year, inspired by some of my mother's quilts, I made cards with mixed pattern backgrounds.

One of my favorite things to do with detailed flower images is emboss them. It seems to be able to capture a little bit of that etherealness flowers have.
