Mother's Day Bouquet / Imaginisce

I'm up over on the Imaginisce blog today, sharing a home made bouquet AND gift card holder. Nothing says I love you like home made!

This is combination of Welcome Spring and the girl My Baby patterned papers and a die cut from Welcome Spring with some serious iRock use! The flowers were cut using the Silhouette Cameo with a few additional bits and pieces to add my own personal touch.

Behind one of those flowers is nestled a gift card! I created a little pocket that the gift card slides in and out of. Just cut an extra flower and don't curl the edges. Apply adhesive on three sides leaving an opening for the gift card. Voila! Pretty simple, eh?!

The two bigger flowers have iRock button adorned centers to jazz them up a bit. When you're using the iRock a lot, I highly recommend taking a break every so often. Turning the iRock off. Not only do the batteries wear out super quickly but it over heats. Take it from me, it took forever to apply those teeny tiny suckers and a lot of patience. Waiting between buttons would have saved a whole lot of angst!

There are two types of flowers with the second having a simple brad for the center. The edges of each flower "segment" are inked for some depth. Each flower is glued (liquid glue) onto a wooden skewer and stuck into the potting soil.

Have you made your Mom (Mum, depending) anything yet for Mother's Day? What have you created? I'd love to see, link me up!

Our Mother's Day has come and gone over here - but these beautiful flowers could grace any occasion :).
