Die cut a small square die from the Stylish Shapes die set.
Stamp in Smoky Slate ink the smaller rose from the Stippled Roses stamp set.
Using the Stampin’ Blends first color in the leaves with the Old Olive light marker.
Using the shading marks drawn on the stamped image highlight the darker areas with the dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends marker.
Go over the entire leaf image with the light marker once more to blend the colors.

Using the Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends marker color the rose.

Highlight the dark shaded areas with the dark Calypso Coral marker.

Blend the rose with the light marker over the whole rose area and stamp the Hapy Mother’s Day sentiment from the Stippled Roses stamp set in Calypso Coral ink onto the square die.

Score the 5 1/2″ square piece of Calyspo Coral cardstock at 3/4″, 1 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ and bend into mountain fold at the 3/4″, valley fold at the 1 1/2″ fold and mountain fold again at the 3 1/2″ fold. Score the 3″ 8 1/2″ piece at 4 1/4″ and 8″ and fold 4 1/4″ into a mountain fold and the 8″ score line to a valley fold. Adhere the 2 1/2″ piece of DSP to the 2 3/4″ basic White piece and adhere to the larger panel of the 3″ x 8 1/2″ piece of cardstock.

Score the 2″ x 7″ piece at 3 1/2″ and 6 1/2″ and fold 3 1/2″ into a mountain fold and the 6 1/2″ score line to a valley fold. Adhere the 1 1/2″ piece of DSP to the 1 3/4″ basic White piece and adhere to the larger panel of the 2″ x 7″ piece of cardstock.

Place a strip of adhesive on the backside edges of both pieces of cardstock and adhere to the outside edges of the scored 5 1/2″ square.

Die cut the small rose and pop up on STampin’ Dimensionals and add to the lower portion of the smaller step.

Die cut two leaf sprigs from the Stippled Roses dies.

Pop up the sentiment onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere the leaf dies to the upper and lower sides diagonally and adhere to the larger step panel.

I added both Brushed Brass butterflies and Iridescent Pearls to this Mother’s Day card to make it extra special for that extra Special person in everyone’s life!
