This is my card for CC943. Jeanne is our hostess and she chose calypso coral, fresh freesia and parakeet party as her color trio. Dessert option this week is Spring. Mother's Day falls in the middle of the Spring season so I claim dessert.
I used the Vine Canopy 3D embossing folder for my background. I took the craft white inkpad and ran it across to highlight the embossing.
My flowers are a new die from CottageCutz - Spring Lilies. I cut them in fresh freesia cardstock and for the pistils I used calypso coral.
Stamped my Mother's Day sentiment on a flag to complete my card. My first Mother's Day card for 2023.
Hope you can play along with us this wek. Jeanne has chosen some great colors for our card designs.

Gorgeous design, Mary. Love how you enhanced the embossed panel with the white ink. The die-cut lilies are beautiful in the challenge colors. Fabulous idea to create for Mother's Day as part of the dessert option. Nicely done!

Mary, this is a beautiful card, with so much to love! I especially like the white ink to bring out the raised portions of the EF. Lovely lilies for Mother's Day!
