Mother's day card

This card is based on Friday Sketchers 41: and also inspired by challenge 29 on Cupcake craft (this is the picture given there):



The technique on Saturday's Workout this week is: 44: faux leather with masking tape. I'd never tried this before, but thought I would have a go for this card. This is how my piece of card looked when I'd stuck pieces of masking tape all over it:

And here it is after inking it:

And here it is used as the main background on my card. The paper in the left panel is K & Co, with gold pen outline and Anna Griffin rub on MUM letters. The panel on the right is an acetate one - the flowers and leaves has been coloured in with Sakura Glaze pens. These have been neglected in favour of copics and other colouring media in recent times, so it was quite nice to use them once again. The swirl was cut on the cricut and I resorted to the addition of a peel off sentiment. A bit of inky round the edges and it was finished:

This card is good for quite a few other challenges:

Crafty Muse 'mums and girlfriends', Charisma Cardz 'pretty cards for mums', CBCC089 'Mother's Day', Scrapstars 'springtime' and February 6: 'keep it the same' on JB.

And now that's one Mother's Day card made - must make some more ready for the Tearfund sale next Saturday, although I don't usually sell many, but like to have some available.
