This one finishes the cards I send to Mom for the week of Mother's Day. I had intended (and had promised) to make a RED card, and then I saw the CC, and here's my story (to coin a Mothermark phrase):
The CC was to use Lovely Lilac, Gable Green, and Cameo Coral. Very hard to sneak any RED into that mix, so I just went with those, plus my neutral white.
The MMTPT92 however, was a different story! The theme is Hocus Pocus, what is missing? In my case, what is missing (you guessed it) is the RED! There were 42,000 RED blossoms on this exotic lilac tree, and when the blooms were picked, all 42,000 of those itty bitty flowers fell apart and disappeared. Honestly!! David Copperfield couldn't even make them reappear!! That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! LOL!

Ann, I always love to see this image. When I first started stamping I couldn't wait to get this set. Now, I have lots of sets and forget I have it. I think it's especially nice for Easter or Mother's Day. Love this.

Wow Anne, this is incredibly beautiful. Love that stamp... it really looks great in that color combo. Your border punch is perfect with the sentiment and for your last of seven cards to your Mom. She will love this one and all the others.
Love your Teapot Tuesday story too.
