I dug into my stash for this piece of lacy lavender dsp and used it for the background after cutting it with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle. I die-cut a MFT stitched oval and placed a die-cut Gina Marie Designs Mother's day greeting. The lavender "happy" is an Echo Park Easter die-cut and I used a snippet of coordinating lavender paper. The prima flower I've had for eons and the center was filled with stamens that came with the flowers. 3 gemstones on the upper right side finished this card.

So pretty, Carol! Love the Prima flower that you used! I have tons of those....somewhere! Love the beautiful paper you used on the cardbase, the stitched oval but most of all the awesome font in the sentiment diecut! Perfect in every way for a Mother's Day card! TFS and hang tight! We're in for another wild weather ride! *sigh*

This was a great sketch for Mother's Day cards! ;-) Love the purple and the die cut you used. I have tons of Prima flowers and never think to use them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and absolutely lovely take on the sketch...x💖 [Aussie aNNie's Blog]
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I like the purples and that flower. Very feminine, perfect for a mother, unless, of course, your mother is a biker, then maybe not so much.
ReplyDeleteI like this graceful sketch, and your interpretation of it, is so pretty. Love that you were able to use the VOS flower, and that purple/lavender background, well, that is just the thing for a Mom's Day card. Love the sentiment too. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteMother's Day cards are always so pretty and this one is no exception. I do so like this great sketch by Janice! Glad I got to work on mine today, also. That lacy background is just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card Carol. I'm so jealous of all your stitched dies, I keep saying that's what I'm going to buy next but then I end up spending on something else and still wanting them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!!! I love the huge flower!!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol - I'm late getting around to making my comments. I scrolled through your photos, too. that was some snow storm!
ReplyDeleteYour mother's day card is so lovely - that flower is so pretty.
