Mother's Day is just around the corner and I wanted to make a spring card to forget about the snowflakes in the air yesterday and today!

Here's how I made this card:- Folded a 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 Mellow Moss card base in half and ran it through my Scallop Bigz Die with the fold just inside the cut shape.
- With my Circle Scissors Plus, I cut an Only Orange circle to 3-7/8". Tip of the day on being extra happy with your Circle Scissors Plus: Spray your Glass Mat with spray adhesive so the card stock grabs to it and doesn't slide around when cutting.
- Cut a 2" tall piece of Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper and layered it with SNAIL Adhesive over a Messages for Mom stamped greeting in Chocolate Chip Classic Ink on a Pinking Hearts Border Punched strip of Whisper White Card Stock that was daubed with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.
- Turn the circle over and trim the excess with your Paper Snips.
- Adhere a piece of Mellow Moss Taffeta Ribbon over the bottom Sweet Pea DSP seam, attach a bow and then a Fresh Favorites II button with a Linen Thread bow tied in it with Mini Glue Dots.
- Add self-stick rhinestones from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit above the greeting.
- For the gorgeous flower, punch 8 Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch shapes from Barely Banana Card Stock, then spray with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spray (see my YouTube Episode #12 Shimmer Spray for how to make your own) and crumple each flower. Uncrumple, layer the 8 together, then poke a hole in the center with your Paper-Piercing Tool and insert a Brad (doesn't matter which color as it will be hidden when finished). Starting with the top flower, crumple into a tight ball towards the center, then repeat for each layer until you get to the back. Spray again with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spray, let dry a few minutes, then attach to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Make sure you stamp the back of your creation with your personalized stamp and you're done!
