Happy Mother's Day


 It's a few days early, but happy Mother's day to all those moms, grandmoms and great grandmoms out there! I hope you all have a great day filled with lots of love and appreciation from your families.
I used my Altenew Dahlia stencils to make this card, using 2 different colors of distress inks - Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry. I used a Gina Marie Designs Venetian Labels die set to cut the sentiment panel, and added some of her pretty pink gemstones to finish this card.

I'm sharing this with the following challenges:


The Sisterhood of Crafters challenge - April Showers Bring May Flowers

SOS#469 - what a difference you've made in my life (card for Mom)

As You See it Challenge #274 - the meaning of Mama (fill in the blank)
(my response is "having one.")



Thanks for stopping by and again, wishing all the moms out there a wonderful and happy Mother's Day!

Carol

Oh my Carol, this card is just beautiful! I am loving this stencil and your color choices. You have so much depth to your card, the black just makes the pink sand white pop. Love this one! Happy Mother's Day Carol!!!! Hugs, Brenda

You've done such a lovely job stenciling the flowers, Carol, and the colours you've chosen are so pretty. I really agree with the way you filled in the blank, too, as I lost my mom when I was in my early twenties and it left a void in my life for sure! Thanks for filling in our blanks at As You See It Challenges.

Beautiful stencilling Carol and the pink colour is a beautiful feminine choice for a Mother's Day card. Your fill-in-the-blank is to the point too - and reminds those of that still have one to appreciate them each and every day. Thanks for sharing with us over at As You See It this week!
