Having just returned from vacation, I needed to get on the stick to create a Mother's Day card for my VERY special aunt.
Firstly, thank you, Korin, for asking me to join your team for the next couple of months. I'm a little late this week, but will be better in weeks to come. : ) Love the simple sketch for this week
Vicki chose the following colors for the CC:
Cameo Coral
Primrose Petals
White
I don't have Cameo Coral, so I used Calypso Coral instead.
Finally, Toni's WT was to use horses in honor of Derby Day in KY. I have no horse stamps and don't have the drawing talent of Mutnik(Cathy), so I used the theme of the race, "The Run for the Roses", for my card. Mine are white/ivory roses instead of the red roses the Kentucky Derby winners receive.
This is a card that I will have to send in a box.....you might know my parsimonious nature when it comes to postage on cards...but this Aunt is worth every penny! : )

Beutiful work on the multiple challenge card. The color and pink are just lovely with the white roses. Surely the aunt will cherish this beauty!! So glad to see you on the SC team as your cards are always an asset to any gallery.

I too discovered that if I send my cards from home I don't have to pay extra postage nor have any of my recipients. (Unless they are square). I was just looking at this flourish die yesterday trying to figure out how to use it (or part of it) and I ended up putting it back in the drawer. And here you have created this amazing card with it! I love the take you did on the horses theme...brilliant!! Your white roses are perfection!!!And your coral/pink background is just beautiful!!!
