No need to check your calendars, it’s not Mother’s Day. Well, maybe it should be – right? Why do we recognize our moms only one day a year? For all they do for us and have done for us, we should be celebrating them more often!

It’s an ANYTHING GOES month for our July challenge. Surely, you have a card that meets that criteria – right? We’d love for you to join us here. You’ll need to use a Hero Arts stamp, stencil, die or digi as your main element and you could win a $25 gift code to the a2z Scrapbooking store.

I love floral stamps, especially floral outlines, like those on Hero Arts’ Happy Mother’s Day set. There are so many options – watercolouring, stamping on printed paper, stamping on vellum …

I started this card by stamping the two smaller flowers with black ink on white cardstock.

I added colour using daubers and distress inks

I then fussy-cut the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts CL925 Dare to Dream stamp set on a piece of gray cardstock. I adhered the flowers in the top left corner, adding dimensionals under the larger, orange flower.

Here’s a close-up of the flowers.
