Mother Card

Another January card using the Doodles 4-German/Bauern set from Firecracker Designs by Pamela. This is a 5" x 5" square card, just for something different.

Really straighforward card work here, there is a 1/16" border between each of the 3 main layers of the card. The main layer is a printed vellum adhered to vanilla cardstock. I stamped over the top with the large doodle image and sponged on some Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. The photo corners are a punch, and I used the paper piercer and template to add the brads. They are set on dimensionals.

I did the wording with my computer using the Kendaia font. It is french and the english translation is "I love my mother with all my heart". I rounded the corners with my 1-1/2" circle punch and used the slit punch to add the vanilla word strip. I stamped off in Regal Rose to add the swirls and flowers to the word piece, and added some sponging around the edge. That piece is also on dimensionals.
