For today's Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS65, Mother's Day or May Flowers.
I needed one last Mother's Day card, so this challenge was perfect. This card design has been kicking around in my head since last week when I was working on vintage cherry cards for Mother's Day and such. I came across this lone scrap of SU cherries DP and knew I had to do *something* with it, especially now that I have the Flourishes Peaches and Cherries set. I was still thinking of last week's sketch challenge SC278 and of a great item I came across for Saturday's Jazz It Up Inspiration Challenge: http://www.jazzitupinteriors.co.uk/a.../10547grey.jpg
I used a computer-generated sentiment.
Thanks for looking!!
Emily
PUNCHEZ tally: 4 different punching tools used for a total of 18 punch actions. That's gotta count for at least a couple of pounds, right???

Oh, Emily! I love this! I saw it in the Gallery, near the top where they feature four new uploads. I "oohed" and then I saw it was from YOU! It is too, too cute. Can I give you my address?? ;)

I had trouble adding up the punchez but then realized you have snuck a few on the inside too. Fabulous card!! Love the focal diamond shape and scalloped edges around it. Stunning card
