Hello! A quick post to share a card that I made for Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches. I started making the card and then almost didn't finish it! But I did and now I have another Mother's day card.
Yellow seems to be the color of the moment for me! This is the second or third card I have made using yellow in as many weeks. Funny how things happen that way. I used lots of pretty Birch Press Design products on this card along with a sentiment from an older Simon Says Stamp Mother's day stamp set. I have a post up on the Birch Press Design blog (see it here) where I did direct to paper inking in order to have a cardstock color that matched the stenciling I did. I decided to do that with this card and I must say that I love how much it looks like colored cardstock! I used Hero Arts Butterbar and Pinkfresh Studio Lemon Whip for the rose and Pinkfresh Studio Mint and Evergreen for the leaves. I added lots of texture to the card by using Memory Box white woodgrain cardstock and die cutting it with the Birch Press Design Pinpoint Contour plate die. I added some additonal texture by die cutting heavy weight vellum using layer C from the BPD Calen layering die set. The rose and leaves are from the BPD Dainty Rose and Leaves Contour layers set.

I love direct to paper, too. This is a beauty!
This is another of your gorgeous cards Rosemary, I love the yellow rose, vellum and dies. The embossed background certainly adds that perfect something.
