MOM WOW Card

The Mother's Day card I made for my mom this year.

It took a bit of time, but it was worth it !

Every item used,

other than the oval die, 

came from Stampin' Up!

though most are now retired.

The color combination came from the 

current color challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com.

CC529

Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango and Crushed Curry.

I used a Texturz plate for the dry embossed polka dots

on the orange background, 

a  die and embossing mat for the oval,

then heat embossed an Aida texture with 

clear embossing powder on the MOM letters.

Since I used embossing on this card,

I'll link it to the current Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge at

Operation Write Home - embossing. 

This particular card won't be going to OWH, though.

I have been slowly working on filling a box to donate

and have dozens of cards to share here still. 

I am disappointed in the way my printer

interprets the colors on my digital designs............

Below is the word art I designed,

however the colors printed nothing like I intended. 

I was going to mount this to a piece of Melon Mambo

before attaching it to the inside of the card,

but since the colors were so off, I did not.

 I could have used Crushed Curry

since the orange and pink did not match my card stocks. 

I should have chosen a different font,

or flipped and reversed the MOM text box,

so that it would create WOW

exactly the same. Mom isn't nearly

as nit picky as I am on the little details 

and probably won't notice ;) 

Thanks for looking 

and 

Happy Mother's Day weekend !
