Happy Mother's Day!

Guess what!  I thought of making a card & actually did it in time for the USPS to deliver it.  Amazing.  I'm hoping I can do the same next month for Father's Day.  We'll see.



I used Basic Grey's Urban Prairie designer paper, SU's Crushed Curry & Bermuda Bay from the 2009-2010 In Color series and PaperTrey white cardstock.  Using SU's basic black classic ink pad, I stamped images from Stampendous called:  Bee Trio, Bee Daisy & Bee stamped (on back, not shown) and sentiments from SU Messages for Mom.  I colored in with Staedter Watercolor Pencils and SU blender pen.  Stickles Crystal on wings & Stickles black diamond on flower center. 

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
  • Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge #36 - make a Mom's day card.  based on Exodus 20:12 that says:  "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.  
  •  Simon Says Stamp - Things with Wings
Don't forget to send your Mom a card!
Thanks for taking a peak...  :)

    Hi Lori - this is just lovely! Gorgeous colours and images. I love the way you used the flower in the word 'Mom' - I love that idea but could not do that idea but couldn't do it as we say 'Mum!' But thanks for the inspiration!! I am loving this! It is great to see you playing along with the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge this week - we would love to see you again next week!! {{{hugs}}}
