I used the Mojo81 sketch to create a Mother's Day card since it's getting closer. I decided to finally use the Bella Birds dsp I had on hand. It took awhile to have things come together, but I think I finally mastered the sketch. Whew! I will probably give this to my mother for Mother's Day. Now, it's off to my mother-in-laws MD card.
The bottom 2 flowers were white and I sponged them with pretty in pink. I used a really old stamp set called Sweet & Simple Salutations as it was the right size I needed and one of the few stamps I have that actually says Mother's Day. I know the flowers are really probably supposed to be yellow, but I colored them to match the papers. There's DD on flowers and water, but you can't see them very well in photo.
Thanks for taking the time to look. If you have a moment, please let me know what you think!

So soft and pretty - another great sketch card. And, just so you know, there are indeed pink daffodils (just do a Google image search - they are quite gorgeous!)... Love those pearls - and again, I love the fabulous insides of your creations! Keep 'em coming!

Soooo pretty! And I like how you carried the dp theme to the interior of the card. Your pearl brads are to die for and such a wonderful accent to your card! Mum will love it! tfs
