This card is for a very special mom, who is a mom to many and always has a ready hug. Violet is the mom of Kheila Kirwan who is 2,000 miles away from her mom at this time, and her desire is to fill her mom's mailbox with good wishes for her 90th birthday on Jan 4, 2010. Please see Kheila's thread here for Violet's info:
I used two different MS flower punches, and 'nested' them inside each other using zots and pearls. The leaves are from an EK punch. I learned this technique from the Queen of 'Hundred Dollar' cards- Tosh, (Stamps4FuninCa). Here is a link to Tosh's gallery.

Oh yes, I agree with EVERYTHING everyone has said. My, what a piece of work from the heart. Talk about a "stand out" talent!!! I love the work that you have put into this card. You have taken the time once again!!!! One lucky recipient will treasure this forever. I know I sure would. Awesome Pat, but no surprise! Huge Hugs!

Pat, this is an absolutely GORGEOUS, very special card you have made for my mother's 90's birthday! I can just see her face when she opens this. Pink is my favorite color and she just loves flowers. Bless you for your thoughtfulness! I know she'll call me when she gets this, thank you!
