Kids Mother's Day Card

Give cheer Give a Cheer

So every year I make one of my bosses a Valentine and Mother's Day card for his wife. He likes his kids to be represented on the Mother's Day card in some way. This year I decided to go back to having actual kids on the card like I did a couple years ago. His kids are actually growing up (Emily (24), Megan (19), Adam (15), Michael (13)) so I had to find "older" looking kids. In my search I found an awesome digi site Melonheadz. https://www.etsy.com/listing/236082815/melonheadz-kidlettes-brown-haired-combo?ga_search_query=brown+hair&ref=shop_items_search_1
I did some creative cutting with using heads from one kid and placing it on another body. I then paper pieced the clothes on top.

The design of this card happened on accident! Got to love happy accidents. I was trying to figure out how I was going to fit four kids on a card with out making it super huge. Then I remembered that the Technique category in the April Inspirational Card Challenge is to do a technique you have been meaning to try. Well I have been wanting to do a Center Step Card so I decided that could work for 4 kids. Then I went to look for paper in my scrap drawers I thought this paper might work with all the different colors. I happened to have a Bingo Card scrap that had the word "Happy" on it.... and that is how the card came together.

CHALLENGES:
1) April Inspirational Card Challenge - Technique Category - try a technique you have been wanting to try. I did the Center Step Card.
2) Melonheadz Friends - Pastel Colors Challenge or if you use a Melonheadz image the theme can be Anything Goes. I used the Kidlettes Brown Hair combo pack.
