SSS Tumbling Leaves Stencil/Hey Mama

Hello hello crafty friends.  Thanks for coming back to another tutorial.  Today I’m channeling my inner Laura Bassen (@laurafadora on IG) and made this rainbow Mother’s Day card.  Let’s get started!

I began my card with an A2 size panel using SSS Ultra Thick 120lb white cardstock and attached my SSS Tumbling Leaves Stencil to it.  Once I attached my stencil in the right place, I started with Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean and finally Wilted Violet distress inks.

When I was done with my ink blending, I opened up and scooped out some Ranger Texture Transparent Gloss Paste.  I do that because I don’t want any to get back into the jar of paste once I spread it over my stencil.  I made sure the paste was evenly distributed over my stencil.  Once that was done, I sprinkled some Tim Holtz Clear Rock Candy Glitter.  (this is my new fav!)  I removed my stencil, shook off the loose glitter and put it to dry.  Make sure you wash your stencil completely.  I use a little warm water and it comes right off.

While I let my panel dry, I cut out CZ Design Hey Mama die cut.  I used Simon white cardstock and cut out the “hey mama” 3 times each for dimension.  Then I cut out the shadow using black cardstock just once.

Once my panel was dried, I trimmed it down so that I can have that nice edge I love on my cards.  I adhered my die sentiment and chose another sentiment from SSS Mom Days Sentiment strips.  I added some foam tape to the back and added it under my die cut.  I adhered it to an A2 size card base using SSS Fog cardstock.  I finished off my card with some embellishments from Little Lucy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it!  A fun, bright Mother’s Day card that will put a smile on “Mom’s” face.  Thanks for stopping by.  The products I used and where I purchased them are listed below.  All you have to do is click on the image and go shopping.  See you next time!
