1976 Stylish

Welcome!  Today I'm once again sharing my gorgeous mother with you!

This time, she's 46 years old and oh what a beauty she is!!

My mother was very stylish and kept up with the trends of the day.  

Notice the "70's" collar of her jacket and the pretty scarf tied around her neck?

I used the beautiful Blue Fern Studios Homespun collection page named Home Sweet Home, as well as scraps I have from the same collection that I either distressed or made into tags.

I started by stamping an 'X' stitch with Technique Tuesday In Stitches clear stamps 

all along the edge of the layout to match the cross-stitch designs in the paper.

Then I sprayed the focal area with Lindy's Stamp Gang Flat Fabio retired color Ruby Red Slippers.

  

Pretty Blue Fern Studios lace was added for a feminine touch, as well as their Chained Bits chipboard.  

I gesso-prepped the chipboard and then heat embossed it with Blue Fern Studios Imagine Inks 

Goldilocks, Nutmeg (a touch darker than Goldilocks) and Rusty Rose.  

To the Rusty Rose, I topped it with Lindy's Stamp Gang EP color Stardust Candy Rose.

  WOW!!!  It really tones done the 'orangy' of the Rusty Rose and gives it more of a rose color.  LOVE IT!

Flower arrangements with leafy die cuts added pops of color and femininity!

A sweet friend of mine, Mary, gave me these precious hummingbirds because she read

 that my Mom loved these little birds.  Aren't they wonderful?!

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend!
