Hochanda Mothers Day Card for Nanny

mothers-day-2016-7

I first showed you how to make this card on Hochanda TV.

Using the Harmony watercolour pens, I created the card background.

Once dry, I put it through my Emerald Die cutting machine using an embossing folder from my crafty stash and sanded this back to give the finished effect.

I die cut flowers using flower dies out of extra card I had created with the same effect so the elements on the card all matched.

I then cut the letters using the Emerald Letter dies. These are great as you can add your own special word and make this more personal to the recipient of the card.

Again this card can be used for any occasion but quick and easy to make with the right products.

 

 

 

 

Products I used to Create this card were:

  • Flower Dies
  • Harmony Water Colour Pens from Hochanda
  • Emerald Die Cutting machine
