As Mother's day is fast approaching, I wanted to make a card for my Mum that looked good but was both quick and easy to do and this is what I came up with: In order to make my card I used two different coloured ready made card blanks in light gold and ivory colours. I used a border punch to punch along the bottom edge of both the cards, graduating the cut for a layered effect. I then drew around a circular pot and cut out the shape from the gold card blank only. I lined up the ivory card blank so it fitted inside the gold card and used the cut out shape as a stencil to draw another circle shape. I then stamped the swirl shape from my alpha stamp set around the edge using red versafine ink. The next step was to use my stamps to make a scallop frame to fit around the outside of my cut out circle on the gold card blank. I did this by using the circle stamp from the love and laughter set. I drew around the same pot on a piece of pink patterned paper and stamped over my draw
