To start I pulled out the Best Mom stamps and dies again! 😉
I wanted to go for a different color palette so I stamped the flowers with navy ink, the leaves with a cool grey ink, and the flower center with yellow. Then I added yellow nuvo drops to the flower center and set that aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.
I die-cut the Dotted Chevron cover up die with white cardstock and layered that on a white card base. Then I stamped the sentiment from One Love and trimmed it down to a skinny label. I adhered that to the top of the panel and then added my flower on top! This would be a pretty design for a wedding card and you could easily customize that flower with any combination of colors!
My next card has A LOT going on though you can’t really see it all in the photograph. First I stamped the Brushed Plaid stamp onto a piece of black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I created a shaker tag from white cardstock and rainbow patterned paper using the new Shaker Tag set.
I stamped the sentiment from Grad Class on the bottom panel of the shaker and filled it with clear confetti, sparkling clear sequins, and silver stars. I adhered that over my black card base and added a few black stars to the base.
And that’s it for the April release! Here’s one more look at my release cards! 🙂

Teresa Doyle says
Love your cards Jessica and the first one could totally be used for ANY occasion. THAT I love! (Sometimes its good to have a basic ‘go to’ design for when you need something in a hurry! This fits the bill.)
I am “jones-ing” for that Shaker Tag die. LOL LOVE it and the way you used it to frame your sentiment with the rainbow striped paper is great!

Such pretty cards. I really like that large flower and how you used the plaid background and embossed it in clear powder on the black cardstock. The effect is really nice.
