Makeover Monday – Mother’s Day Collage

For today's Makeover Monday, I was asked if I could turn a collage card I made in June 2019 into a Mother's Day card … challenge accepted.  Here is the original.

By a small miracle, I was able to find the rest of the small vintage cards that I picked-up at the printer fair that day (I was not however able to locate those circular stickers), so I ended-up making two make-over cards.

I chose a purple background for the first card to bring out the color in the ribbon around the bouquet of blooms.  I added some vintage postage stamps and stickers together with the trading stamps.

Creating these types of collages where I just layer organically from things on my studio table are so relaxing for me.

For the second one I chose a golden yellow background to coordinate with the yellow rose.  It actually had a mother tag as part of the card, I didn't need to add a Mother's Day sentiment.

I think I love all three of them equally … I hope the Mothers who receive them love them too.
