My attempt at this week's sketch is a Mother's day card for my M-I-L. She's from England (like me!) so I decided to go with MUM for the front since it's not often she gets a card with anything but MOM on it. I had great fun with this and I'm really happy with the colours. The guava CS is textured and pierced. I stamped blossoms in versamark on the long blush panel and heat embossed them with clear EP. I love the soft silky effect on this colour. I stamped the flowers and leaves on Ivory natural CS and then cut them out before mounting them on the blush oval which is sponged with guava.
Now all I need is a nice verse for inside. TFL

OH this is beautiful! I love the tall design. Every element on this card works so nicely together! I'm sure she will love it!

Absolutely beautiful! The colours are so, so pretty and I just love how you put all the elements together. It's a great inspiration for my Mother's Day card which I need to get started on. TFS.

What a stunning card! Everything is so perfect- from the CB letters, to the paper piercing, to the background, to the cutout flowers on the circles! WOW!!!

So very pretty! My mother was a "Mum" too and you're right - it was very difficult to find a card as most say Mom. How very special that you did this for her! All your details are fab!
