The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge theme is
FOR THE LADIES
The inspiration for my mom’s mothers day card came from a card making book she gave me. It is cut from a 11×5 pp that is snipped 1″ in at 1 1/8″ from the top on both sides. Curving the corners inward creates the collar for the blouse. Used a corner punch to round the shoulders and chin portion of the collar. Glue overlapping parts of the collar in place only at the area that does not touch what becomes the card front. Fold the lower half such that it tucks under the collar points. The book used a 5″ doily but I cut some of my grandmothers old lace scrapes. I cut more of the pp into the pocket, added hand drawn stitching lines and washi tape flowers that were attached to white cs then fussy cut. Sentiment was created and Foil Quill on the Silhouette. Buttons are from my stash. I used water colors and quill pen to hand write the inside sentiment and added more floral spray of washi tape. By adding white cs to the back and then attached hand cut easel it now will stand but lay flat for mailing.
