Very happy to share with you all that from this month on, I'm joining the design team at Scrapping4fun challenges. This is a fun challenge blog run by Rachelle who comes up with creative challenge prompts every fortnight.
My mom has always been my lady luck all my life, so I was grinning away I made this card for
Challenge #16
Happy Mother's day / Mother's day / Mother
Please use a "sentiment" with Happy Mother's day / Mother's day / Mother - using your native language for your creation.
A long time ago when I was still in school on a certain Mother's day, my brother and I scored the shops in Jayanagar 4th block (Bangalore) in search of a polka dot tea kettle because we had seen our mom admiring one a few months ago. Well.... we didn't have enough pocket money so could buy her one that time. We could never find a polka dot one again, so I made her one out of paper this year :)
The template for the card comes from this site which also has a tutorial on how to assemble the card. I resized the image and made it an easel card.
My sentiment reads 'Dear Mother' and the small ticket translates to 'My heart is filled with joy/bliss every time I think about you'. I cant think of a better word than joy, maybe if one of my readers also speaks Tamil (a south Indian language), you can help give a better English translation.
There are 4 individual teapots in my card glued together. Being someone who hates to measure and doesn't own a die cutting machine, it took me forever to get the four teapots to align! All papers are from an older release of Prima - aren't they gorgeous!
Here is a closer look at the easel base. And the surprise element - the top of the teapot come off and has a hidden tag for another message!
Have you made a Mother's Day card yet? Why not share it with us this month. Hop over to the Scrapping4fun blog, look at the inspiration from the design team and play along with us.
