I used a Webster's Pages die-cut to make a shaped card front. I folded part of it over the back of a A2 card base I made and I cut the front to match the die cut's edge. This gave me three layers to play with. I used a Sizzix postage stamp die to cut a cardstock frame, which I covered in white embossing powder and some glitter gold embossing powder. I stamped "You are the Best" ( from the JR Grand Sentiment stamp set) on a transparency and embossed it, then stuck it behind the open window.
Through the transparency, you can see the pretty basket of carnations ( a vintage image from Internet). Open, you see the whole picture and the banner stamp from JR Botanical Medallions and Banners set. On the bottom layer is a semi-circle I cut to put the Mother's Day verse on and to sign the card.
