This weekend celebrates that wonderful day known as Mother's Day - I hope for all of you Mums out there that you will be spoiled rotten :0)
I was so taken by this card, which Anya made the other day. It inspired me to make something completely different for a Mother's Day card, which I wanted to share with you....
I really liked the stamp set which Anya was showcasing - but my craft money this month went to the tax man (booohoooo!) so I turned to the "Take a Bough" stamp set from PTI to do my interpretation.
The flowers are stamped with a little blossom from "Honey Bee" (also an oldie) and I then set about embellishing the card with little French Knots.
Cardstock, Ribbon, Ink, Stamps, Scallop Die - Papertrey Ink; Floss - DMC
I finished off the stitching with a few dots done with a Pale Olive Copic marker, to add a bit of life to the card, and a handwritten style sentiment - that to me is what it is all meant to be about :0)
Hoping you're having a good one, and enjoying the lovely days around you!
My heart and thoughts out to those people who have been affected by the terrible flooding in the United States. I'm absolutely awed at the volume of water that you are dealing with and truly hope that you and your loved ones are safe!
