My Sheri Crafts Challenge is to do a card that represents your mother, hence this post's title. I just got inspired by this pretty paper by Kaisercraft and this card kind of made itself. I finally (YAY!) got the Fanciful Flourish by Cheery Lynn Designs, so that's kind of going on everything right now. I cut it apart to use on this card, and I love how swirly it is. It's a super popular die in my area, and it comes in a little small size too that is super cute. No, this isn't an ad, I'm just a little excited, because it was always sold out whenever I tried to get it.
Anyway, my Mom has always been a gardener and she also loves birds and makes sure to remind me to keep the feeders filled.
This is the first "pretty" card that I've done in a while. I've been doing a lot in a completely different style. So I went almost ( hmm, no ribbon?) all out and added a lot of different things, including a blinged out piece of a MM glitter gem frame, a die cut out of glittery gold paper, pearls, chipboard, flowers, lace and a vintage image.
I'm entering this in the following:

What a lovely Mother's Day card, Shona. The Fanciful Flourish dies are my favorite too. Good luck in the Bling It Up challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs.
ReplyDeleteHi Shona,
ReplyDeleteYour card is very pretty and I am sure your mother will love it. If your mother is like mine she will not let me write in the cards so she can keep them and show them off to everyone. Ha Ha. Thank you very much for joining us this week at Cheery Lynn Designs.
