I chose Blue Belle, Sapphire & Wisteria as my three colours and the card I ended up with almost looks monochromatic even with these three colours used, so they are a perfect compliment to each other. Plus white is my free to use colour.  


I grabbed out my scraps of sapphire print from the Mix-in Paper Packet (Jul–Aug) which is still available to purchase. To put in the middle - I didn't measure the sizes this was literally just scraps.

Then I grabbed my tiny amount of scraps of blue belle patterned paper from Happiness Lives Here Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet for the top section. The skinny diagonal stripe is a sticker too. I put Sapphire Cardstock on the bottom of the card.

I stamped Wisteria Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad with the Mother Days sentiment from a previous Stamp of the Month and stamped the wisteria onto a white daisy cardstock circle I had already cut (watch out next month for new thin cut circles!! this one is an old retired Thin Cut but I'm sure its a similar size to the new ones!). The heart stamps are also from that stamp set. Its called Time to Celebrate Stamp of the Month S2005 (SOTM May 2020) pictured below.

The two branches are stickers from the Happiness Lives Here Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet and I finished it off with white dots from the Black & White Dots embellishments. 

I know blues aren't traditionally mothers day card colours but I wanted something that men could give their mothers without being too overly flowery. 

I love that this was made with essentially my scraps and leftovers. I love to make cards to use up all the paper I have from each paper pack I hate being leftover with lots of paper.
