Mother's Day Card


 Here's a mother's day card I made using pastel colors. The pastel blue background was done with a lawn Fawn die, and the pink frame was die-cut with an unbranded stitched die. The little gnome is from SSS and was done with snippets from assorted paper pads in pastel colors. I added a couple of pink bows to her hair that were colored with a fluorescent pink Copic marker. The tiny hearts on her dress were filled in with pink Nuvo drops. The sentiment is from a Verve stamp set called "Because of You" that I've had for a decade or longer, while the word "friend" was done with a random stamp from my collection.

I'm sharing this with the Retro Rubber Challenge #156 - pastels


Wishing you all a warm and wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by today!
