Hi Everyone:  Spring is definitely here, at least for now.  Today was a sunny18 degrees even though the calendar says Spring won’t be here for another few days.  Suprises do happen, so we shouldn’t get used to it.

Here is a couple of Mother’s Day cards that I have created.  The first one is based on MOJO Monday 129.

Mother’s Day Card # 2

Recipe:

How To

This card was based on Saturday Sketch Challenge 142, another great choice for that stamper block.


I embossed the 2nd layer with the Perfect Polka Dots impressions folder and then layered the DSP, the brayered Bride specialty paper, trimmed the 5th layer with the scallop trim punch and stamped and emboss resist the sentiment. I then stamped the last layer with the bird from the Of the Earth stamp set and edged with Brocade Blue ink.

Now I have 2 Mother’s Day cards and will have to decide who will receive which one.
