April Paper Pumpkin Plus!

Mother's Day is this Sunday- are your cards made?? Mine were not so I hurried and put some together today! The April Paper Pumpkin kit was absolutely beautiful and I think just right for Mother's Day cards.

However, I first used the kit for an anniversary card for my parents! They recently celebrated 40 years of marriage and I thought this was perfect- even if the picture isn't! This is one of the pre-designs, other than I sponged on some pink where the flower was going to be. The yellow and green are printed on the DP sheet!

Then today I made up the second design, almost exactly. There are three designs, but I really love the print so I might change things up and not cover quite so much.

Then, I decided to make my own creations using the stamp set. That is one of my favorite parts of these kits! First I used the latest Mojo Monday sketch combined with the color challenge from Inky Friends. I liked the rich Mossy Meadow with these pretty flowers! The Mint Macaron is harder to see- I added a little 'watercoloring' with an aquapainter and the ink pad, in between the stamping.

This final card is a really lousy picture, but we keep have huge thunderstorms that come and go all day long so I took pics while there was some sun, and this will just have to do. This time I used the latest Freshly Made Sketch and the colors from the latest TGIF challenge!
