Today I have an easy Mother’s Day card using Petal Park Bundle as well as Lighting the Way stamp set. The Lighting the way stamp set isn’t an obvious one to choose for a Mother’s Day card, but I thought that our mothers, and indeed, those of us who are mothers ourselves, have basic instincts to nurture and care for babes in arms especially our own. In other words, they light the way and one of the sentiments in the Lighting the Way stamp set is “thanks for lighting the way”. FYI, the Lighting the Way stamp set is available in both the Cling (red rubber) and Photopolymer. They both cost exactly the same so it depends on your preference.
I also wanted to use the Textured shimmer paper. These come in 12″x 12″ sheets and there are six sheets in a pack, two each in three colours – Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and White. In order to get as much out of one sheet, I cut it at 3″ x 4″ (7.5 x 10.2 cm).
I kept the inside simple, stamping the sentiment in Balmy Blue and the trail of “light” in Mango Melody. If you look at it closely, rather than starry lights, they seem to be bees, but what the heck – it’s a trail of light dust to me! If you already own the Marigold Moments stamp set, that has a “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment in it which you can add, but it’s just as easy to pen “Happy Mother’s Day” yourself.
