Absolute Best Mom
Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Please welcome back special guest designer, Kelly Rasmussen to our blog! Read on for more information on this lovely card design for Mom and enjoy!
Today I’ve created a Mother’s Day card using some Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp goodies. My design was inspired by a card I created last month on the Hero Arts Blog that you can find HERE.
I started out by die-cutting the heart opening from a 4.25 inch square piece of woodgrain cardstock. Then I created a watercolor background using Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks. I adhered the watercolor panel to a Fog Gray card base, followed by the heart window.
Next, I die-cut the letters for the word “mom” using the Hero Arts Luggage Tag Alphabet Frame Cuts and the same woodgrain cardstock. I adhered these letters to the watercolor panel and then finished stamping my sentiment using the Simon Says Stamp Mom and Dad Icons set.
And the part that I think really makes the card is the sequins! These are Hero Arts Blush Ombre Sequins, which come in a pack that includes a variety of sizes and colors. The arrangement of the sequins gives the illusion of a shaker card, but they are all firmly adhered in place using Mini Glue Dots.
I’m thinking this design would work great for a Father’s Day card as well! You could change up the color scheme and switch out the heart for a circle.

Love your faux shaker idea, Kelly. Not sure I have the patience to glue that many individual sequins to make the pile at the bottom :-). Very pretty.
If Moms of a “certain age” got this card there would be lots of questions: How did you do this? How do the sequins stay in there? Lovely card.
