Sweet Moments Mother's Day Card

When my son was a young adolescent, he gave me a gift of blue and white cameo earrings. I was allergic to the posts, but I've kept them for 20 years because he gave them to me. This Mother's Day card is for his wife in remembrance of those earrings and because she's a beautiful mom, like a cameo. Because I used all Close To My Heart products, I'm enterring it in the Heart 2 Heart Challenge for Mother's Day. I used the Deconstructed Sketch 50 for my design. I'm also linking it to The Blogger's Challenge for Celebrating Mom.

Because this card will go in the mail tomorrow, I avoided most dimenion except for pop dotting the cameo. The strips of Emporium paper are quite decorative in themselves. I added detail by embossing the dotted lines (Circle Around stamp set), as well as the cameo (Sweet Moments stamp set), using Crystal Blue embossing powder. The Buttercup diamond shape was square 7 on the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge and it's Vineyard Berry frame was the same shape with the Decorative layer feature. The cameo was also cut with that cartridge (oval 4) before stamping. If you're not familiar with that cartridge, it coordinates with stamp sets that we sell in Close To My Heart. The stamps that go with Cricut shapes are marked with the measurement they need to be cut before stamping.
