The colors for the challenge card for this week will be rose red, black and white. It must be floral, can be made with any size card. It has to have some sort of circle on it. It can be a big circle, little circle, half circle, 1/4 circle or what ever you choose.
I didn't have a stamp block that was the right size for the CHF backgrounder, so I tried to use the plate from my big kick, but it may have been a bit too skinny and it didn't stamp great, but I still think this is a beautiful stamp, perfect for this challenge and for Mother's Day!
This card measures 5 1/4 x 6 1/4. I don't really like the ribbons, but felt like something was needed there. There are gemstones on the swirls around the Mother's Day Sentiment. The scallops are made with full circles and there are gemstones in between each of them. TFL!! Hope you like, Mom did, but that's how Mom's are and then she read the inside and cried! That's when you know you wrote something good. She actually used to go to the store and read the cards till she cried and then she knew that was the one. So that's what's really Important. Bought her some stamps from HM and I would definitely recommend doing business with Dick, he is awesome. Here's the web site:http://www.hmstamps.com/index.htm
Happy Mother's Day!! There was no time limit, so I'm not even late!!!

Hi There!
I think this turned out beautiful!! I love it! I wonder if you could mount this to the wood side of a big background stamp. I think I saw someone use the wood / picture label side on the back side for mounting an acrylic stamp.
