I Love Being Your Mom
Hi all and thanks for joining me today for the MFT Design Team Creative Challenge. Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product or technique. This month, "It's all about Mom" Be sure to check the MFT Blog for a list of all the designers who have creative project ideas for you today!
I went with an untraditional card idea. Mother's Day is my absolute favorite holiday. I LOVE reading sweet notes and receiving sweet gifts. I spend the day counting my lucky stars that I am lucky enough to be the mother of three incredible kids! For a change of pace, I decided to create a card FROM a Mom, instead of to one. How neat to be able to reciprocate on the spot and take a moment to let a child know that while it may be Mother's Day, I also have many reasons to be thankful, and writing those down to give them on Mother's Day.
I grabbed the ADORABLE new stamp set, Cute-a-tude, for the occasion. I cannot get enough of that sassy stance and sweet attitude. LOL I chose the sentiment, "I Love Being Your Mom."
She is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and her dress is paper-pieced with patterned paper. I added some deep blue shading behind her. The cute pink brads are from Pink Hedgehog.
I used the Open Scallop Doily Die-namics as an accent behind all the layers.
