I am really enjoying these layouts from the Clean & Simple blog - FTL 85. My card is 7.25" by 3.5" inch; love the size, had tons of fun with it.
I used cardstock for the panel on the left-hand side but really felt it needed something else - I could just not make it work but I loved when I pulled out this beautiful black silky ribbon from My Favorite Things; the shine and edging is just gorgeous; so I joined the newest trend and made a ruffly strip; the verse is from Verve Visual's "Because of You". The inside is a simple Happy Mother's Day in black, but I added some swirly brackets in Hawaiian Shore from PTI's 2nd anniversary stamp set (not sold); I stamped it once right side up and then once upside down. I added lots of glitter using a clear Spica glitter pen to the brackets
I added MME's Lush black and some miscellaneous turquoise gems to the flowers.
