On Sunday it will be Mother's Day in the UK. I've made this card for my lovely Mother in Law. She has good taste as she likes purple! I've chosen Wisteria Wonder as the base for this card.

I've also used some retired DSP and a retired Stamp Set.

This is the bottom view of the card

And then when you open it up it looks like this, I used the fabulous Climbing Orchids Stamp set, I just love this stamp and dies, they are so versatile.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Stampin' Up! Climbing Orchids Cards

Earlier this year I entered the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge with this card, to see the original post click here

I loved the card so much I decided to make it again but I wanted the orchids to stand out more.

To do this I stamped the flowers on a scrap of Whisper White and die cut the three parts before adhering together. I then curled the petals before adhering to the square.

I used the same Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as I thought that worked perfectly.

Then I tried to heat embossed the orchids and wondered what it would look like if I dry embossed a sheet of silver foil. I was rather pleased with the result although my husband thought it was too much.

A crafting friend of mine recently promoted to Silver so I thought this card was perfect to send her as a congratulations card.

So which is your favourite, please leave me a comment below.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.
