Happy Mother's Day....a bit late!


So I made this lovely card for my Mom for Mother's Day, but I got it in the mail a bit late. She didn't get it until the middle of this week, so I'm just posting it now....didn't want her to see it before it made it's appearance in her mailbox, now did I??

The layout is from the Mojo Monday sketch challenge for last week and I love the way it turned out. I used Kraft cardstock for the 6x6 base along with Baja Breeze for matting. The designer papers are from the Parisian Breeze pack by Stampin' Up and I love the thickness and texture of these papers.



I stamped Busy Mama on Wausau bright white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her in with my Copic markers. I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder on one of the panels, added some taffeta ribbon and pop dotted the main layer.



I added the sentiment, then attached one of my pink crocheted flowers with a white glitter brad. I think the pink really makes it pop!! Anyway, it may have been late, but I know she loved it!

Today, we have two classes going on at Scrappin' Great Deals. Andrea is teaching the morning one and I am teaching the afternoon class featuring the new line of Ketto stamps by Stampingbella!! Sheila has them all in the store and we are gonna have a ball playing with them today!! There are still a few spots left, so if you'd like to join me, just give Sheila a call!!

Happy Saturday!!!
