Crafting Musketeers May Challenge: Anything but Square

Hello Crafteteers!

It is that time...time for a new challenge at Crafting Musketeers: Anything But Square.

For the design team card I used my new Spellbinders die 5x7 Reflective Moments.  Is it just gorgeous?!  I ended up running through many different colored card stock papers to see how each would look with the main die and they all looked jaw dropping awesome.  For the card I stuck with white and applied Tim Holtz' white crackle paint over the entire die cut.  After it dried I applied Distress inks in Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.  Then I cut a piece of white card stock to size and applied Distress Inks in Tattered Rose, Dried Marigold and Barn Door.  On top of that was a die cut piece of Graphic 45's Secret Garden.  The flowers were highlighted with Stickles.  
Next was another piece of white card stock die cut with Spellbinders Floral Ovals and the crackle/inks were applied.  Quietfire's "Happy Mother's Day" from Happy Family Days was heat embossed in black on a Spellbinders Ovals die cut.

The card is a tent fold but I only used the Reflective Moments die on the front.
The inside has Quietfire's Mothers Hold Their Childrens Hands sentiment (so sweet!) on the Floral Ovals Die cut.
Graphic 45's Secret Garden was used on every card face.  
Can't get enough of that pretty paper.  :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope to see your shaped project this month at Crafting Musketeers!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
