Floral Mum Birthday

 Hello and happy June. Hope everyone is enjoying some sunshine!
I've got one more floral-themed make to share until the 15th when I'll be back with some Beautiful Blossoms design team inspiration. A family friend of ours is getting this for her birthday.

 
I used this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design, resizing to a 4x6-inch card.
 My element #2 per the sketch is there, it's just hard to see because I die cut a rectangle of the pink KI Memories card stock and then put it back in, so the line is there but the background remains undisturbed.
The mum is from Hero Arts' Floral Mum Stamp and Cut set. I stamped it with Memento ink, then watercolored it and brushed a little purple Wink of Stella glitter over it so it sparkles. I added a bit of Magenta Stickles to the center of the mum. Then I die cut this and also another one out of white card, then glued the two together before attaching to the card front with glue dots.
I also stamped the mum all over the pink card stock background with Versamark and heat-embossed with white powder. Then I die cut a Cheery Lynn scalloped rectangle in the center, replacing the die cut. I had a snippet left of dark purple satin flower ribbon so I added it across the middle. I stamped the Papertrey Ink sentiment with Versamark and heat-embossed with white powder. I die cut it with a Lawn Fawn banner die and layered it on the ribbon. Added 3 large flat sequins and rounded all corners with my WRMK Chomper before adding to my white card base (also corner rounded).
On back, I went with some Basic Grey Green at Heart papers, my siggie and a strip of card stock I used on front.
Inside, a Papertrey Ink sentiment stamped with Ranger Archival Cactus Flower Ink on white card I die cut with one of the Cheery Lynn nested dies. That's layered onto some BG Green at Heat paper. The left side is a combo of the leftover pieces. 
And final view.

Take care and thanks for the visit!

A really lovely and beautiful card Aimes. I love the single Mum, with the coloured background. But that is not enough for you, we then venture into the insert and a surprise awaits, more loveliness. With the pretty paper and the beautiful verse. And there's more, 'cause you turn the page over and more loveliness and your personal logo. Love it all.

Echoing the others: your mums card is ever so lovely, especially with the pink/white background as an eye-catching stage for your purple star of the show. Pretty on the outside and in. Thank you so much for joining us at Inkspirational.
