For MariLynn's MIX110 Pop It Up challenge, which I have combined with Audrie's The Great BIG canvas IC challenge.
I need a card for my MIL - Mother's Day here is next Sunday - so I took the colours from THIS canvas. I could have got lost just looking at all the florals, never mind any other section. But I spent all morning cooking, and was lucky to have a space for stamping while I did a gallery mod shift; as soon as I get this uploaded it's back to the kitchen ;-).
I tried, and loved, Dina's One Layer Paper Tole tutorial, I hope you can see it - the two paler flowers and most of the leaves are popped up. Image coloured with Inktense pencils, and some Liquid Pearls added. I layered it onto a green oval before the black scalloped layer, so when you see under the popped-up bits it's still garden green.
For the base, I used a TCW stencil and spritzed with homemade mister. The Cuttlebug Vintage Corners have Rub-on Luster on them, and then some Liquid Pearls and Stickles. I added little dots of Stickles and Liquid Pearls in some of the hexagons, and finished it off with lace, the sentiment tags and two little bees. I thought about sequins, but it's for my MIL and DH vetoed them.
Oh - it's edged with a gold Krylon leafing pen.
Got to dash - happy weekend, everybody.

SCS is so educational...I just assumed that your Mother's Day was the same as ours LOL. Ours is not until May 10th. Now about your card....everything about it is wonderful Sabrina. I am sure your MIL has received many beautiful cards from you over the years.
