I'm a little late in posting this, but this is the Mother's Day card I made for my mother-in-law. Here favorite color is purple, and what pairs better with purple than green? So I started with that color combo and went from there. I started by stamping these gorgeous flowers from Altenew's "Beautiful Days" set. The layering stamps are fabulous and quite easy to line up (thought I did have a bit of trouble lining up the outline stamp) and I used a coordinated group of purple inks from Altenew so they match perfectly! Then I pulled out my "Guide Lines" stamp set from Papertrey Ink and created the background using the same purples as the flowers and adding some green for contrast. I finished it off with a sentiment from Verve and added a smattering of purple pearls. I stamped the outline of the flower image in purple on the envelope. You can see it in the photo below.
Supplies:
Stamps: Altenew "Beautiful Days"; Papertrey Ink "Guide Lines" and "Tucked In: Mother"; Verve "Love Deepens"
Dies: MFT "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle and banner die

Heather, what a beautiful card for your MIL! I'm sure she loved it!! My MIL's favorite color is purple, too, so I know how challenging it can be to come up with a different card each Mother's Day and Birthday. Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday once again!!! -Donna
