I like this challenge forum but haven't played before. Couldn't resist today, but hopefully I can resist ordering several of the beautiful decals on the inspiration site. Even if you don't play, check out the wall decals, they are gorgeous and very inspiring! There are so many stamps that would work, but I chose punches and made my mom's Mother's Day card. I used just the vine from the SU bird punch. I crumpled and split the paper apart on 3 large scallop in two shades, layered them to create the main flower, then made the bud basically the same way with a smaller scallop and wrapped part of a leaf around it's base. I saw a tutorial somewhere for making the main flower, but I'm sorry I don't recall where. It's time consuming, but easy. Best of all, no last minute stressing on a Mother's Day card this year. Thanks for looking.

Oh My, This is GORGEOUS! I LOVE that big flower (and all the little ones too) but the little panel with the word "mother" just captivates me! What a LOVELY mother's day card!!
