I made this card kind of quickly today for my Mom who just had surgery last week. She's doing really well thank goodness. I hope this card brightens her a day a bit.
I based this on a card we did at my stamp club, but made a larger card (5.25 x 5.25), glittered up my flowers, added pearls, a leaf punch, paper piercing and a different embossing folder.
The first mat, the image mat and all the flowers and greeting are popped up on dimensionals. I used the finial press ef on the white framed mat.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and have a great Sunday evening.

How did I miss this beauty! This set is on its way to me and I can't wait!!! What can I say, I'm a bit slow on the uptake LOL!. Wonderful colour combo and I love the pearls in the flowers I'm sure your mom will love it. Trusting she will have a speedy recovery! Four punches and some piercing - well done I'm afraid I'm on a bit of a roll with the Mother's Day cards as punches make for easy mass production LOL! I hope I can keep my status up and running thereafter
