Good morning everyone- I hope you are doing well.
Today I have a couple of Vintage/Shabby Chic Mother's Day cards to share... 
A few days ago I was in the mood to just 'play with paper' so I dug out my neglected but loved Graphic 45 Children's Hour collection. I mostly used the months of May and June for my cards and I was on a mission to see how many papers/elements I could put on a A2 card front- And I'm very happy with the way they turned out :)
All of the edges were distressed with Brushed Corduroy ink, I sprayed the first card with Glitter Dust and I added TH Crackle Paint to the second card. There are a few punched butterflies on the pink card and the pearls, twine and lace are from my stash.
Thanks so much for stopping by- I really appreciate it!
Take care and stay healthy.

Thanks for your fabulous inspiration, Tammy! I never know what to do with those pages in my Graphic 45 pads which have these decorated panels. The way you have put them together in these gorgeous cards is stunning!! What beautiful work!!
Your cards are gorgeous Tammy, such lovely colours and pretty images. Graphics 45 always have wonderful papers, I have problems to use them because they are so good! Have a great day, stay safe, hugs, Valerie

These are fabulous Tammy with all the layers, like the first one with all the pinks, sweet image and like the flowers, butterflies, sentiment and your distressed edges, the second one is a great combo of colors, beautiful image, like the lace and fluttering butterflies. Hope all is well with you.
Those are so bright and cheerful. I always think of vintage as a bit drab but you've proved me wrong. Love Dawn x
Hi Tammy! I LOVE these cards! : ) Graphic 45 has always been one of my favorite paper stock manufacturers but I haven't bought any of their products since Archiver's closed down! But these images are so gorgeous and I love how you put everything together! Really nice work!

How splendidly pretty! I adore the elegant crocheted lace trim on the second card. It complements the sweet floral papers to a tee.
