Red, Black & Off White Texture for Mum

Main image stamped (Artemio 10001044) & embossed (Stampendous Detail Black) with smaller stamp from same set stamped (Aged Mahogany Distress Ink) onto flower petals. It was when I saw the same pattern as in the papers (Creative Cardmaking Magazine 2) that the card actually came together. All the ovals were punched (Woodware) & edged with Aged Mahogany - as are most of the edges. The bow was in a Syntego pack I was given, the small cream pearls are Kanban & everything else is from my "stash". The floral punches excepting the outer layer (EK Success) are also Woodware.

The card was intended as a Mother's Day card following the sketch at Create 4 Fun & the colour combination at Colour Create. There are actually 3 different textures (heat embossed main image, textured metallic red cardstock - the clover leaf image fits the Pile It On Challenge of Lucky Me - & the hammered cardstock used for the card itself) so the card also qualifies for the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge.
