CAS Mother's Day Card

Mother's Day will be here before you know it, so today I have  a clean and simple Mother's Day card that I also posted in Splitcoast Stampers color challenge this week.  The colors are Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and Soft Sky.

I used the Cottage Cutz Garden Frames die which cuts three separate circles with motifs that can be combined or used alone.  I used all three with each layer in one of the challenge colors and die cut the word Happy.

Next I layered the circles and glued them together to form a medallion.

For the front I cut an A2 panel, stamped the splatters in Soft Sky and used a stamping platform to stamp "Mother's Day" in Blackberry Bliss.

I adhered the medallion to the front panel.

Finally, I added some faceted crystals to give it just a little bling. I used Stampin' Up's Crystal Effects (Glossy Accents works also) to adhere them.  A tip for the crystals - glue them upside down with the flat side facing up and the facets pointing to the card.  I tried gluing them with the flat side down but light couldn't get into them from underneath and they didn't sparkle much.  This way they sparkle a whole lot more!
