What do you do when you celebrate Mother's Day late, but you didn't have your act together enough to buy a card at the store in May? You go see the resident cardmaker in your office. LOL! One of my coworkers told me the other day "I have a strange card request". I told him those are my favorite. But this wasn't that strange. His parents are coming home from spending the winter in FL and they will celebrate Mother's Day then. He told me she likes tennis and golf. I don't have any tennis stamps, so I decided to just change my Father's Day "Best Dad By Par" to "Best Mom By Par". Plus, this way I could make a pretty golf course with flowers on it. The problem was that I don't have any golf flag stamps. So I made myself one. I drew this flag in Procreate and made sure it was kind of sketchy to match my golf bag image. Then I sponged the sky and flicked on the tall grass and wildflowers. Carla's challenge stumped me a bit this morning, until I realized I could make a sand trap with actual sand. So I glued some sand to some white paper and attached it at the bottom. I hope it stays on. It seems stuck on well with the Tombow glue.

Cute card, Jen! Your co-worker will love this. The sand trap is a great addition. This is going to drum up more business for the resident card-maker. ;) Thanks for getting back to nature and playing in my challenge.

clever adaptation to MOM and the sand is just sooooo perfect, speaking as a golfer and often in the trap. haha I am sure this MOM will be amazed and thrilled that her son got such a custom card made just for her : ) Teresa
