Bloom Boutique

Things have not quite settled down enough for me to keep up yet, but I wanted to at least get one card out to you this week!


I am a little late in sharing a Mother's Day card, but you could change the sentiment out for just about anything.
I chose to use the Heirloom Boutique stamp set for the flowers, used Stampin' Blends to color them in and then used my paper snips to cut them out.
The embossing folder I used is called Floral Spray and I added some 2026 - 2028 In Color Dots for accents.


Supplies:
Heirloom Boutique
Memento Black ink
Stampin' Blends
Floral Spray embossing folder
Bloom Boutique dsp
