Mother’s Day card with Painted Lavender. I also used the Perennial Postage bundle. Both these bundles are from the Perennial Lavender suite in the January-April 2024 mini on pages 22-25. The Painted Lavender stamp set only contains images and all the sentiments are in the Perennial Postage stamp set. By getting both you will qualify for two £45 or one £90 Sale-a-bration products.
A new selection of products from the current catalogues have been added in addition to the ones in the current Sale-a-bration brochure.

Just remember to use the special codes in the flyer as a Sale-a-bration item and not the normal catalogue codes as you will be charged for the latter.
I chose to create a long, slim Mother’s Day card so that as much of the pretty Perennial Lavender 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) DSP would show. There are laser cut white paper butterflies in the Suite which you can colour with blending brushes in any colour. On each sheet, there are 5 different butterflies in varying sizes and profiles. The one on the left was my original, and the one on the right was the one I created for the video. Which do you prefer?
The inside of the card also had a Highland Heather mat layer because the card base was Basic White and I wanted to make the stamped Basic White mat layer “pop” too. There’s method in the madness, it helps to balance the weight of the card because the front had so many layers.
