World's BEST Mom!
Mother's Day is just around the corner and today we have a great idea by Maria sharing how to combine several fun sets to create a unique Mother's Day card!
She started out with the pair of owls from our Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. Although the theme of this set is valentines, these owls also work great to represent a mother and daughter! Maria colored them in browns and added eyelashes to the owl on the left so that they both have a feminine look. She added the cute duo of owls onto a branch that was stamped from our What a Hoot Stamp Set. She stamped and colored two branches and leaf clusters to cut out and add to her card. She also added a birdhouse hanging from the branch by using the image from our Newton's Birdhouse Stamp Set and cutting out just the top part of the birdhouse without using the post. Such a clever idea!
For the lovely pastel clouds in the background she used our Clouds Stencil along with several different ink colors to sponge in those soft clouds. She also added a layer of grass along the bottom using our Hills & Grass Stencil with green ink.
The finishing touch is the custom sentiment "World's Best Mom." This was created by using the words "World's Best" from our Simply Relative Stamp Set and adding the letters to spell Mom, cut out with our Essential Alphabet Die Set underneath. Having an alphabet die set like this makes it easy to customize your sentiments!

We hope this card by Maria has inspired you to look at your stamps in new ways and use stamps for occasions other than the ones they were meant for!
